5,000 count boxes

bongo870 · 12-26-2021, 05:46 PM

I need a few 5,000 count boxes as some are getting worn out. Where do you guys get them? E-bay seems like a lot of money for box (20 bucks average) thanks for any help

card show or LCS

Card shops and shows for me. There are a surprising number of dealers who still stock cardboard and plastic despite the shortages. I was able to get the 3,200 count ones which are a step below the 5k and I believe they ran $4.00 each.

You can also order direct from BCW (the company that makes them) but they are currently showing a backorder date of 2/2022 so it could be a couple of months before they come back.

I go to a store that sells magic cards since we have no sports card stores.

Same here, although they don’t carry any size bigger then 1800 count. I mostly use 3200ct boxes so I get them off eBay.

First listing on eBay I found looked like they were 4/$30…assuming combined shipping…check there for discounts or Amazon

can you shoot me a link???

I'd just look around and be patient. Ebay and Amazon are two places I've purchased this type of thing, but they don't always have inventory. You'll have to buy multiples, but if one is $20, four will be $30. It's worth it.

I'd also check your local Facebook group and see if anybody has an extra. You might be able to find one full of cards for like $10.

I got a 6-pack from Amazon a few months ago for $42

I use BCW. I usually wait until I have a big order with top loaders and such. It used to be free shipping after $100 but now it's $200

Here's 25 for about $100 shipped. If you live close to them, looks like they have free local pick-up, making them even cheaper.

Best bet is to buy by the case:

25ct case - $63.00

Thanks for the link! BCW has priced themselves out of the equation.

Buy 3200 ct boxes at shows full of junk wax, throw away cards and then keep the storage box.

I hate cheap crap. That’s just how I am with supplies. You usually get what you pay for. I tend to go BCW. That’s me though. I also buy OEM parts for my car instead of aftermarket. Some things just fit and feel better.

You do realize that virtually none of the supply companies actually make their own product? The Collect Save Protect brand is as good if not better than the BCW brand. I am now restocked to pre-crazy levels once again!

I use my Amazon Pantry boxes and make my own. Takes like six minutes.

I haven’t bought 5000 counts in 5/6 years. I’ll give give the eco model a shot.
