not sure where to put this question, and not sure if anyone here would know. i'm looking to buy some ESD safe clamshell containers to hold PCI-E cards. I found a few US manufacturers, but they are quoting about $10 a piece for 160 or so. I don't mind the volume, but the price needs to be a lot less for me.

I'm talking about something like this:

I'd like to know as well. I've not found any inexpensive sources
yeah... all the US sources are asking for $7-$10 per piece, which just doesn't work for me. I'm trying to negotiate with a supplier in China right now; I don't know how much it will be after shipping to US, but we'll see.

Makes me wish I never bin the hundreds of them I have received over the years if I could sell them for $5 each
Not really practical but I still never even though to keep any for own use. Next orders I guess.
