Small cabinet pieces + matrix pieces

Previous micromounts still available

 

Clear - MICROMOUNT BOXES

27 x 27 x 27 mm
 

  I have close to 3000 of these micromount boxes.  I say close to because one of the 14 x 12 x 12 " mailing boxes is missing a few micro boxes.  These retail for $0.35 / per piece.  A total of $325.00 US.  I am willing to let these go for $150.00 / per mailing box of up to 1000 pieces.  Postage is not included in the $150.00.  Therefore postage is extra. 96500
