+briansnat Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I put in an order for 30 retired decon boxes to use for my caches. They were the perfect small cache container. I received the following from rangersurplus.com: I am in receipt of the above referenced order, and I am sorry to inform you that we out of them at the present time and our vendor says that he will not be able to get anymore for awhile. We are now in search of a new source for them. I can either hold your order until I find a new source or cancel the order. You would not be charged until the order is able to be filled. Please advise as to which way you would like me to handle this. I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. Does anybody know of another source for these boxes?

+infosponge Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 3 for $7.03 = $2.34 each. I'd hardly call that an intercoursing (50 cents difference from the link you gave). Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks for the responses. The prices are a little higher than they were on Rangersurplus, but at least they have them.

+briansnat Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 BTW here is a photo of one of my caches using one of the decon boxes. It can fit a lot if you use your imagination.

+Web-ling Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I just bought three of them ($2 each) this morning at the local Army-Navy surplus store. Quote Link to comment
+infosponge Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I mistakenly read the $7.03 on the site when I clicked through. Thanks for being so quick to jump on my math. quote:Originally posted by GoldKey: quote:Originally posted by infosponge:3 for $7.03 = $2.34 each.

+Marky Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I bought 10 from rangersurplus. They were a great price. Now I wish I had bought 50. They are perfect little containers. Joani is even using one as a trade item container and has it clipped to her belt when we are out geocaching... --Marky "Everyone spends time in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Yeah Rangersurplus had them for $1.39 last time I looked. I wound up paying about a buck more from cheaperthandirt.com. Still, the things are pretty useful.
