Quoted from Crash:It's funny how everyone keeps thinking CoinTaker manufactures these LEDs themselves. They buy them from a Chinese supplier and pass the added shipping costs + profit on to us. Now we have an option to buy these more directly for a much cheaper price. I have no problem supporting that.
Who thinks Cointaker makes them? Didn't see anyone say that
Quoted from Benepinballs:I basically just gave him Cointaker ones, so I am sure his guy in china just copied them exactly and reverse engineered them.
Quoted from Homepin:Cointaker will be happy to know that.....
Quoted from Winball_Pizard:Maybe the Chinese will figure out why one LED from Cointaker cost $1.29.
The warm retros from Cointaker are the only way to go for GI lighting. Unless you look at them directly you would think they are standard incandecent bulbs. In those few locations where you see the bulb directly you can still leave an incandecent in.
I would consider these if the retros weren't so bright. The warm white frosted LEDs have superior light spread, but look a little cool in my opinion. Can someone compare warm white frosteds vs retros under plastics?

Yes and those are now .59 in bulk at their new site. Gonna try to see if any locals wanna split a bulk order in the near future. 
What new site? Doesn't look any different, and I don't see a bulk discount option when I add them to my cart.

To Funny !!!!!!!! CoinTaker Rules ...
I would be interested if they are the 'non-ghosting' type. These are about twice as costly even on CT's new site. Not sure your source will be able to come down significantly on their price. I support CT, but wish their prices were more in line with other offerings. No one else has retro non-ghosting......yet. That type is best for GI lighting on EM pins IMO.
