UPDATE: I got a price back per set. Minimum order is 5 sets of snorkels. For every set it will be 40.00 USD plus shipping by DHL. Im still waiting on a response for the shipping price.

the 11.99 price was for 1000 as I had suspected. I just finished talking to the person. They said shipping is going to be 375. So we might aswell forget about it.

Well if 10 people did it then it would still only be $77.50 a person.. $45 cheaper than eBay. Just not as enticing as $12 haha

True. So with shipping it'd still be 78 bucks each?

I was actually talking to a guy on alibaba.com from Unity offroad yesterday about a group order also and he was able to get the price down to 72 each including shipping. We would have to buy a minimum of 10. I would have to receive them at a local port however and then distribute them, but that goes the same for the other ones. Also shipping will take about 25 days.... But if a lot of you guys are willing, I might try to organize the group buy if we have 10 orders.

EDIT: BTW if anyone is wondering these are the snorkels in question.
