Thanks cubekid, I'm definatly not making a ton on Magic strings. I also paid more than $2 a bag. In fact after shipping I'm closer to $3.50 my cost. I was honestly just trying to offer these as a conveinence, because people had asked for them. I also don't sell as many strings as you might think. It will probably take me 4-5 months to sell the 25 sets I bought.
