My discounted items fall into two categories:

1. FACTORY SECONDS

I always have a large number of pieces that have small defects that in no way affect the performance of the component.  These defects include; incomplete bleaching of bone, small surface flaws, or parting lines, found in ivory at tusk layers... or something that simply isn't "pretty" enough to send out fully priced.  

If you don't mind a fully functional part that will have only visual flaws, here's a way to cut the cost of your particular project.   

I always keep this readily available in Taylor, Larrivee and Martin (drop-in) saddles and nuts.  I can also make these for other manufacturers if it is not an oversized component.

I also keep a small selection of incompletely bleached bone pins.   What sizes I have changes as these become available.

Bone saddles & nuts:  $15.00    

Fossilized Walrus saddles & nuts:  $35.00

Bone pins:  $25.00

2. OVERSTOCK - DISCOUNTED ITEMS (list below)

We made too many of this...  we experimented with that... 

Some of these items are quite unique and may be perfect for your application.

If its not on my normal inventory, and I don't let you know I have them, they will sit... and sit.

 Not any more.

Nicely discounted for your wallet and my tidiness. 

Good example:   

Bone pins with Padauk wood inlay - overstock

I always have a number of items available and will try to keep the list (see below) updated.  If there is something you would like a photo taken of, I'll be happy to.
