I'm no pro when it comes to finding SASBE items for cheap, but I wanted to share this with everyone since I'm not sure how much these things normally go for.

I found a seller on ebay selling 5-packs of 4"x8" bubble envelopes, self sealing, for $2.25 shipped. Considering most of the items on ebay are buy it now for $1 per envelope, or are bidding auctions that I tend not to get involved with, I figured for 5 envelopes, $2.25 seemed reasonably cheap. I just bought 3 5-packs and it cost me less than $7. Just sharing the info for all you traders out there.

I should also mention, these ship from the US, so you don't have to wait 2 weeks as you do from most things that are shipped from China. No offense to China, I just don't feel like waiting that long for what I purchase, lol.

I get these i throw a few stamps and put them worldwide for like 1.20 postage normally and 1 to 2 stamps in the states
 
I have found that as usual Amazon is one of the least expensive places to buy things.

50 count #000 (4x8) paper bubble envelope $12.95

Also 50 #000 (4x8) plastic bubble envelope $7.98

These are shipped from the US as well and typically take 3-5 days to get to you.
 
I have found them at the Dollar Store. You may have to check a few but they are there, along with plastic baggies used for seed.
 
Nice, see? That's what I get for not shopping around more first, lol. Either way, all good info. Normally I just take a heatgun to the ones I get if they're clean and peel off the flap and shipping label and they're good as new usually, but I was running low and had a few trades to start. Amazon I know I had a great deal for 500 ziplock baggies for seeds for about $6 but they were from china so they took a while to get here. Still, they should last me a few trading seasons.

Also Dia, I'm surprised at the large price jump from plastic to paper, since plastic seems like it would be a lot more weatherproof as well, and they're cheaper.

UPDATE: Dia, FYI, 2 packs of 25 of these are showing as cheaper than 1 50 pack due to free shipping.
