He went and opened the cabinet and got down on very bottom shelf and reached
all the way in the back, how many do you want? There was a whole case that he said the kids never put out because there was no spot marked for it. They then had it behind some shotgun shells, 28 gauge to boot.
I bought the whole case for $12.95 per 50. Cheaper than what it was on the shelf at cabelas/basspro a few years ago. He did tell me that this came in last month?
I didn’t really need anymore, but I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth either.

That is more a case of being a canny buyer. Strike when the iron is hot I say, had a chance at a bulk buy a while ago, should have jumped at "20.00 per box take the lot", but I hesitated at the finish line, and lost out. Hopefully some more will come up in the future at better than retail prices.
