What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates.

Nice toy, not very useful ;-)

Pros: Small size, low price.

Very good for mini-caches :-)

Cons: Small size - not listed by mistake both as pro and con. Neither of my parents could see the positioning without a magnifier.

I expected it would have a sticker at the bottom, but it does not. It can still be sticked to various surfaces, but you will need some glue.

Other Thoughts: Not suitable for small kids (can be  swallowed easily) and elderly people (will not see it).

If you need 20, order more, it can easily happen that some will not work properly (I threw away one or two).

Bottomline: Excellent present for somebody who does not expect to get anything :-) If a present is expected, do not use this one - too small value.

Very good if you need a lot of tiny presents.

not really a compass

Pros: Cheap, tiny. Good design. Can't think of more.
 
Cons: More than half of them does not worked as they should - showed wrong directions or didn't did anything. Poor build quality. Very poor.
 
Other Thoughts: Bought 100 of these [five packs] to give away for a kids in the summer camp, but out of 100 there worked as the compass should only about 35-40. So I failed. And kids had nothing [as I couldn't give a compass for EVERYONE]. That wasn't very nice.
 
Bottomline: If everything would work, it would be worth for a price. Sure thing.

Nice

Pros: Nive to have and to give away.
Very small so can be used on small items such as postcards.
Very cheap.
 
Cons: Not very functional. Just a tiny little gadget
Positioning on a flat surface is not very easy so compass does not work as it should easily. You have to be patient with it.
 
Other Thoughts: I use these compasses to put in found geocaches and to stick in logbooks in geocaches.
There should be a self adhesive sticker on the back of the compasses.
 
Bottomline: Nice, very cheap little compasses. Not very usefull but nice for several purposes.
 
					

Good for fun :) Bad for serious

Pros: These little compasses (compasii?) have  several good qualities.
-PRICE-
At approx 10c each how could you go wrong?
-MAGNET STRENGTH-
Surprisingly strong magnet for a compass this size brings arrow around quickly
-APPROPRIATE SPINDLE-
metal on metal is a simple design but works well at this size
-CLEAR PRINTING-
green\white on black is easy to read
 
Cons: OK any device built down to this price is going to have issues.
-NO DAMPING-
more expensive compasses have oil or water damping these don't so wobble about a lot without a steady hand.
-NOT WELL BALANCED-
many of these little bad boys need to be held at odd angles to work but hey they still work.
-A FEW POINT THE WONG WAY-
about 10% were far enough off for me to decide to bin them. Not hard to test as you do have 18 to compare them to.
 
Other Thoughts: I had intended to give them all away as novelty gifts but might keep a couple for myself now I have seen them.
 
Bottomline: Being prepared for the failure rate I felt I had made a good buy
