How much roughly will it be per bag? At $1000 for 10 cases of 48 - it would be $2.08 a bag.

Where will this order be shipped to?

I doubt Trader Joes would let their name be on it if it's being sold in stores other than their own.

correct -
so far, discussions have been using same manufacturer and bagging supplier however the labeling will be private label (a name that people will connect to Trader Joe's cc's, but a legal version of it..)

it's referring to the longevity of the investment - for eating and/or resale
The 3 cases of OK-Pareve batch that we all bought was one and a half years ago right before they became OK-D. Even back then, in 2012, they printed the exp date as 3/2014
They still look, feel, and taste fresh. See pic:

I'd probably only be interested in a case or 3, I doubt I'd want 10+ cases.

ok so maybe people interested in a 10 case batch write on the wiki
+ if between 5 and 10 cases, write the number next to your name?  i.e. bigdanfan 8

when/if have a 5 case + shipping cost, we'll confirm individually to signed-up ddfers

In response to some PMs: Yes - we're in talks, nothing here is blood commitment yet - no prices firm. Getting estimated wholesale interest now.
when actual pricing and case amounts are official, then we'll ask for specifics.
PS - current plan is to have OK Parve hashgacha.

Of course. The first tier investors are the underwriters. Then we'll have an IPO on the forums, where members can buy single cases. The single cases will be sold pro-rata by the underwriters who want to participate in the public offering. At a markup of course.

ETA: And of course, only the lawyers will make money. I love a happy ending.

I just tasted the Restaurant Depot chips and compared them to the Trader Joe's chips.

There is a deeper richness and more intense flavor in the Trader Joe's.
I'm told that a quality brand is Barry Callebaut and that they do not sell OK Pareve to Restaurant Depot.
If you'll be OK Parve, then I'm in for 2 batches of 10 cases each ($2,000+) for the Callebaut. Should last 9-12 months in sealed bags.
Will you know in the next 2 weeks?
