The site is called Cheeptrims (2 e's), www.cheeptrims.com. They sell a lot of drek, but there are some real gems in there as well. They're really cheap (2 gross of buttons for $3.00 for example). The last time I ordered from them (last April?) they sold to anyone and the minimum was $60. Sadly it looks like that's changed.
