The Czechs Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I've seen many of these types of micros in my area and I was interested in buying some so I could start setting up some caches of my own. I have found some on eBay but they seem to go for around $2 a piece. I was wondering if anyone knows where they originate that I might be able to get them at some type of a discount (perhaps if I order in bulk?). Please reply here and let me know the best place to pick them up. Quote Link to comment

Please reply here and let me know the best place to pick them up. I don't know the source for these. Several of the on-line stores aimed at geocaching supplies have several kinds of alum micros. Some ones I've found: Geogear Store: http://www.geogearstore.com/1.html Great Plains geocache store: http://www.greatplainsgeocachestore.com/ Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 They aren't that cheap, but you can find them near the pharmacy counters at walgreen, wal-mart, CVS, etc. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 You can also find small ones at PetSmart. Quote Link to comment

+Marcie/Eric Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 REI has a vast selection of sizes, shapes and colors. Didn't I just say this last night in another thread? Quote Link to comment

The Czechs Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've actually just found a dealer on eBay I might be able to buy from in bulk. I wonder what the demand would be around here for cheaper ones? Say 1.50 each with like 50 cents shipping for each 5 or so? Maybe i'll have to order more from him. Quote Link to comment

It's fun to go off topic in a noob's thread to forward your personal agenda, isn't it? Now, now. Play nice. Always wondered how folks could miss the "Read First!

+Always & Forever 5 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Check out eBay. Type "Geocache" or a variation of the word and hit Search. About 500 items right now, a lot of them are containers of all shapes and sizes... Quote Link to comment

+Isonzo Karst Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 imsurplus $1 each for small threaded containers alumimum or steel with "o" ring. The "o" rings fail in roughly one year in the wild is my experience. I was able to buy more "o" rings to fit locally. ((Ammo cans are vastly easier to own over time, they have a very low failure rate. Cheaper too, with the lack of need to drive out to whereever and check them.)) Quote Link to comment
