For starts, I'm going with my own money for 300 lbs. at $2/lb. in 5 lb. boxes; mailing Juan a $600 money order this afternoon. If we need more, you people will have to act fast - see hotshop url below to order & pay. The cost to you will be $3/lb., $15/5 lb. box; the extra dollar above our purchase price goes to Grey Bears, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit. (Regular orange habaneros are selling for $8.99/lb. at our local Albertson's supermarket.) Thru his hotshop website below, Allen Lee Pierce will handle the arrangements: taking your orders and paying. Also, he will arrange for pickup at the Santa Maria cooler and delivery to the GB cooler. I am moving to Oroville in early July, 2006 and my son & Scott Ashkenaz will be handling our annual buy after that. (Since chile-heads newsletter/digest doesn't support html, I've put in some spaces that you'll have to eliminate to get the 2 URLs below to work.) http :// www. allenlee. com/ hotshop/ <<<<
