Some of them are even priced higher than at Tandy without considering
the shipping. But those are usually the "Buy it Now" type. I've gotten
some really good deals on the auctions.
Another thing is to peruse the Tandy online catalog often for special
prices. For instance, their Deluxe Billfold w/Pass Case #4049-02, is
listed at $22.99, but a few weeks ago I saw it one day listed at $3.65
so I ordered 10 of them and the total cost for 10 was less than the
normal price for 2. The very next day, the price had increased to
somewhere around $15, and now it's back to $22.99.
