How to Purchase <*> Pins
(plus current inventory)

Want to TALK to me personally by phone before ordering?
The "JUMPGATE PIN HOTLINE" is now LIVE!
Check the Contact page for details!

Hello, everyone. :)
For the last several years, I have been hoping to achieve a real, live shopping-cart purchase page for my Pin site. I could not afford a real coder and my attempts to find one who would work on spec never worked. So I simply let visitors to this page know that they could contact me and we could work it out via email.

I thought I had a web developer who was going to help me - but that turned out to be a bust. Not his fault - just some unforeen sad personal circumstances. So no automatic purchase page for this site.

Since there are less than 130 Pins left to sell anyway, it's almost a moot point to put in the coding effort for something that will not last past a few more months.

If you don't trust online ordering, I can do snail-mail ordering.  Email me via the Contact page, tell me what Pins you need and I will hold them in reserve for you until your snail-mail order arrives.  My physical address is at the bottom of the Contact page, just scroll down.  :).


Here's How To Order Your Pin(s) Online:

1. Scroll down this page to see the list of Pins and their prices.  

What if the Pin you want is marked "Ask me about this one"?  That means there are less than 4 Pins left of that type.  I don't want you ordering right after someone else may have snagged the very last one

If the Pin is marked "Ask me about this one," Click here to email me and find out if there is still that type of pin available for you. :)

If that email link does not work, open your mail program and type this in:
email addy  
Now, after deciding your final choice of Pin(s), write down the total $ amount so far.

2.  Take a look at the Shipping Rates Page. Choose what type of shipping you want. Write down how much your shipping will cost.

3.  Add up both the Pin prices and shipping to get the final price you need to pay.

4. Click the Paypal button below and enter the total amount where it will say "Unit Price".  (Also ignore the confusing "Enter ship-to ZIP Code" deal you'll also see there.)  Then click "update totals".

if you are using a credit card, you still do the last step, but you do NOT have to log into the Paypal page. 

if you are using Firefox. the credit card link can be found on the lower left side (marked as a tiny "continue" link) on the Paypal page. If you are using Internet Explorer, it's a LOT more obvious for some reason.  Go figure.  


You should be given a chance to send a message to me about what Pins you need after you get past the initial pay pages.  

(PS: If you happen to get a note back from Paypal regarding an "innovativeflow.com" email address, that's also one of my contacts - no problem. :)

June 13, 2010:
NOTE: When I moved from Oregon to Nevada 3 years ago, I left several boxes behind in a friend's basement because they did not fit in the vehicle I had at the time.
Since then, I have had to wonder why my "Pinventory" was a lot smaller after I moved to Nevada than what I remember in Oregon.

We have a mystery: are the tie-tacks REALLY sold out or are they stuck in a box in Oregon? Is there still a stray Starry back there somewhere? Honestly, Did I not bring the entire Pinventory with me like I thought I did when I moved? Are there still Pins waiting to be sold 800 miles away?
(Update: See NEWSFLASH below. Full details later!!!)

For all I know, the one Pin you really wish for might still have one or two left to sell, stuck in a box in my friend's storage. I rather would not have him root through my stuff... I just need to pay the $ (someday when I can afford it) to get the stuff shipped to Nevada.

Then we can REALLY know if there is a stray Junior waiting to be discovered or what. Email me with what you wish for... and I will email you back if it does turn out that there really are some Pins left back in Oregon. I'll keep you on a special mailing list for whatever month I get the rest of my stuff back. You never know.


FAST NEWSFLASH AS OF JUNE 30, 2010:

I thought that my Starries, Greys and Tietacks were sold out.  At the same time I was wondering where most of my lost inventory had gone off to.  Just last week, I got a  moving box home from long-term storage here in Nevada... and I found Starries!  Tie tacks!  Grey Pins! 

WTF?  I thought those were GONE!!

I am now changing the "sold out" designations to "get on mailing list" because who knows what else might STILL be stuck in a packing box!   From now on, no Pin is officially sold out until I have gone through EVERY box I own, whether it's in Nevada or Oregon.   So get on the mailing list for what Pins YOU wish for!  :)
