Not really. You can beat that at Newegg ($38.99) or Directron
($39.99). Newegg has $4.00 three-day shipping and Directron is usually
around $5.00.

50 is about as small as you are going to get from a wholesaler.

Try Meritline. They have recently dropped prices on TY and they offer
samplers. You might call and ask if they can send you exactly what you
want in a sampler.

The problem is that the rebranders do not put the MID on the label.
The best you can do is use the Country of Origin to tell you what you
are getting. But I would be careful because rebranders are buying bad
lots from other manufacturers.

If you want to do this right, get only TY brand, which means you will
have to go mail order with a trusted vendor. I would call and place
the order and insist that it be genuine TY brand discs with the MID
you specify. Use Mastercard because they are aggressive about
chargebacks if you do the preliminary work up front.

>Mail order is such a hassle.

Why? You place the order on the phone and it shows up at your
doorstep. No state tax, no gasoline at $3 per gallon, no fighting
traffic and crowds at the stores.

What could be simpler. Just make sure you pick a reputable vendor.
