How many of you routinely buy 5ml pipettes from the LHS for $5 for 6 or so?
I got the thinking that this was S I L L Y/S T U P I D and started to look into how to save $$$$. I mean, after all, we use these things by the dozen!
So... after Amazoning ( a new verb to replace googling) these little puppies...

Box of 500 for ~ $13.00 or $0.03 per unit...
My LHS grumbled when I pointed this out, but then perked right up when I showed them that they too could buy these cheap and sell them for less than Testors and at a greater profit!
A box of 500... sell them for 5/$1 and deduct the cost of pipettes, baggies and labels (I already have) and I pay for the "booth" and the Cleveland Model Show, my lunch and I make a little $$$.
I wish everything was this easy.
