20 cases at 50 cents each is $10.
If you have any friends that might want some you can get a case
0f 100 from Supermediastore.com for $25 - with free shipping.
That takes you to 25 cents a case. Find some friends and sell
80 at 40 cents each and you have taken your twenty cases
down to -$.35 each. A bargain any day of the week :-)
Or sell 80 at 30 cents each, and that brings you final cost
per case down to 5 cents each.
I've been using their slim-line double cases - which are rather
lightweight but two of them let me store 4 dvds in place of one.
I'm now slowly relabeling the case to get more space.
This week it's $23 for 100 double slimline with free-shipping.
They usually have the free shipping as a special ever month or so
and I wait until those come along.
And the day I received my last shipment they had a 3-day special
of $21.50 for 100 shipped free.

[ps - I had to remove the alt.video.dvd.software as that is not
postable from here - I restored the original links].
