Inexpensive ATG Gun
 

I know people are always looking for inexpensive ATG's. Custom Crops has a pink Scotch 714 on preorder for $30 w/ 2 rolls of tape: http://www.customcrops.com/product_i...s_id=232187736.

Wow!!! I just ordered one and my total w/ shipping was less than $36!!!! I'm soooo excited.... THANK YOU!!!!

:D

Love it! July is too far away to wait for us impatient people. I hope the shipping costs to Canada aren't too pricey.

Ooh! :shock:

I Like the color!!!!:oops:

I'll have to keep my eye out for it! I wonder why it's so much cheaper than the regular yellow one?:D

Okay, please tell us about it when you get it in the mail!

I 'm curious!!!! :rolleyes: and I want one too. Is it really the same only with a different color?

You're welcome! I knew people would want that link. From what I read, it only holds the 1/4" tape, so maybe that is the reason why it is cheaper. And this could just be an introductory price... might go up after the preorder. But, I'm only guessing.

Just pre-ordered mine! I have wanted one for a long time but they were too pricey for me. I am super excited...and it's PINK!

I went ahead and ordered one for me and one for my mom. The shipping to Canada was decent and even with any possible taxes and duty, it will be cheaper than I can get it locally. Now I have to be very patient in waiting for it :-)

uhhhh I want it!

Why do I even open these threads? You all always end up costing me money, LOL~

StampingScrapping.com has them too...for 24.99.

I just pre-ordered mine!!!

do you get two free rolls of tape with this one??

thank you for posting this.

I can't tell for sure, but I think so. There is a number 2 on the box and I think...it means there are 2 rolls. Crossing my fingers!

You got me with pink. I love pink.

I did see that, but I'm OK with that. I do wonder though why they wouldn't give it a different model number though. Either way, I'm OK. Thanks for the heads up.

StampingScrapping.com has it on pre-order for $24.99. I have ordered from them before, they have free shipping over $50 and their customer service is very good.

Not crazy about the color, but my mom and I each ordered one. Can't beat the price :) I guess I'll finally see how it compares to my GGP :)

I took the plunge!! I've been so frustrated with other adhesives. I'm hoping this is the answer, besides, pink is a great color.

When I pre-ordered, it say they were to ship on July 5 so I hope today is the day! I do see that if you "add to cart" now for it, that it says it is estimated to be in stock until July 19. I hope that isn't the case for those that pre-ordered when it said July 5. I'm trying to patiently wait, but I'm having a hard time with the "patient" part of that equation LOL. Here's to hoping it ships today!!!

I bought this set from the Tape Depot on ebay. The gun and 12 rolls of tape for $51 total (that includes shipping). It works perfectly for me and is much less expensive than the glue glider pro.

Ebay ATG 50

Has anyone who pre-ordered this from Custom Crops received their gun yet? I just checked my account and it doesn't show that it has shipped yet?

My mom and I ordered 2 of them, and they told her via email that they wouldn't be in their warehouse until the 3RD WEEK of July...ugh

Oh no! I was so hoping to have it soon. Well, I guess since it took me this long to bite the bullet and buy one, I can have a bit more patience :rolleyes:

Pink ATG Gun at Michael's
 

Hi Everybody!

Just wanted to share the good news: Michael's now has the pink ATG Guns in stock!!! They are selling them for $34.99 and I was able to get one with a 50% off coupon (last week/Friday). So for $17.50, I got the gun and 2 rolls of tape...can't beat that.

You might have to be patient, though. The Michael's I went to in L.A. only had two (& my sister-in-law and I scooped them up)!

-Jennifer

I wonder how long it will take for my Michaels to get them in - it took months before we saw any MS Scoring Boards! Has anyone else seen the ATG guns? Also, which section do you find them in? Are they by stamping/scrapbooking or are they over near paint with adhesives?? This is great news about being able to get one with the coupon!

That's funny, Lynne!!! :) I said the same thing: it reminds me of the MS Scoring Boards. I'm pretty sure that the two Pink ATG Guns we bought were the only two they got in (because the cashier said they just got them). It seems like they are just going to trickle in until months later when they're finally sitting on the shelves (I saw a whole tall display of the MS Score Boards, finally)!

The Pink ATG Gun was on the end cap (close to the entrance) and it was on its own cardboard display (I assume by Scotch 3M?) housing the two guns and tape refills (I didn't think to take a picture! Darn!). It was a row before the paper started (but I think it had cake decorating items in the row, not scrapbooking matierials). I'm sure every store is different (just depends where they have room)!

Hope this helps,

Jennifer

wow thanks for sharing

Agree with the OP regarding how SOON (not) any of the 3 Michael's that I frequent will have the pink 3M tape dispenser.

At www.glendascreativeplace.com the pink 3M ATG w/2 rolls of tape is priced at $21.50. Don't know anything about her service but just saw the price.

uhhh I like that price

I think I saw this same thing at AC Moore (in the actual store) a few weeks ago. Does that sound right? It was pink, and the price was in the $30s somewhere. I almost bought it, but I wasn't sure if it would fit well in my small hands.

Does anyone have thoughts on the "bigness" of it? Is it too unweildy if you're not used to ATG to begin with?

just saw it in my michaels in socal - i was shocked and came on here to hear if anyone else had seen it! it was definitely in the 30's price range - maybe even 39??? but with a 40%off coupon that wouldn't be bad! i think it included two refills. i bought one refill at 5.99 with a coupon making it 3.60. the acid-free refills were 9.99. i need to go search up what i usually pay for my refills online - i'm not sure how that price compares.

as to the size - it took me only a little while to get used to the size after using a regular small tape runner for years. it just sticks SOOOOO much better it isn't even a comparison. it doesn't take long to get used to.

my fun tip - use some rubons to decorate it! i had fun making mine look "pretty"!

MSRP is 29.99 I believe, so Michaels must be jacking up their prices for the 40 percent off coupon.

My husband delivered my haul to my craft room & I'm still out of town, so I can't check my receipt. But I'm pretty sure it was $34.99 at the Michael's in L.A., so I paid $17.50 with my 50% off coupon! Maybe it was $30 & it came to $17 with tax (after coupon)? Sorry! I don't remember! I just know I was excited because I almost paid $30, plus shipping for one at Custom Crops.

My right hand is not very large - approx 7 3/4 from tip of my thumb to tip of pinky finger. Have been using the 3M 714 for 3+ yrs and have no problem. I know when I first started papercrafting I took a class, we used this ATG and I thought, 'No way am I every going to be able to use this thing!' After spending $$$ on those little adhesive dispensers, I broke down and bought my own ATG. It is sooo much more economical. I use it on everything except an item that I need EXTRA stickum - boxes, other 3D items or moveable parts. I only use the little dispensers when I go to a workshop/class because the ATG is bulky to transport and there is no cap to cover the opening where to tape comes out. Also, don't want to drop it because it was a more pricey crafting tool. I painted my red ATG a celery green and put glittery flower stickers on.

Thank you! I'm going to keep my eye out for this! :)

I just had an update from Custom Crops that the guns will not be available until August. To quote from the email:

"This is another quick note to update you on the status of your Pink ATG Adhesive Gun and/or Adhesive Refills.

Much to our dismay, 3M, the manufacturer, cannot deliver this product as promised, in July. Evidently, there has been a manufacturing issue with the tape rolls nationwide. They are telling us to expect these by August 9. Please stand by for additional emails regarding the shipping date. We will continue to do our very best to keep you informed and to deliver this exciting product to you as quickly as possible. I am sure you understand that we are at the mercy of the manufacturer as to when we receive pre-ordered items.

Additionally, as noted before, if you placed your order after July 1st, the shipping date will be closer to mid August, approximately 2 weeks after the first shipment arrives."

:-(

Interesting ... I wonder if they'll recall the ones they already have in Michaels and AC Moore. Or maybe they just had quality issues with a second batch??

They are bundling it with that new "Advantage" acid free tape that comes in a two-pack, geared towards crafters I guess. Our standby 3M Gold tape or Tape Depot should still work. I just want a gun!!!
