Bob, that case looks nice but... $40 each?

Whoa... that's new!

I bought a couple of them a few years ago, but certainly didn't pay that, I'm sure they were under $20/ea. I don't recall if I bought them direct from Samson Cables or on eBay, where both Samson Cables and other small dealers sell Samson's products.

I've noticed that Samson Cables prices are generally good, but when items become rare, the price goes up considerably (e.g. the small HP-48G Pocket Ref Guide is listed for $99 - yikes!) which is true of course in any marketplace - though especially with collectable items.

Aurelio is right that a volume buy is the best way to get the price down. I'd be happy to coordinate a purchase for several folks, and then mail them to Italy, etc. if there is interest in that. I don't know how low the price could go, but no doubt more units => lower price.

Email me in the next few days if you're interested and we'll see if this makes sense. Of course international shipping adds a lot, so if we get several orders from Europe, maybe someone there could receive one lot and mail them to others, bringing down the cost to ship each one? Best if done from a country with looser Customs Duty fees of course.

Let me know
