Have you tried any of the other axminster boxes? I have been looking at these and if you buy 100 they work out at £2.76 each, I should be able to get a 15% discount on that which would make them £2.35 each. I would have to check to make sure I can get the discount as Axminster sometimes change the goalposts, but I am wondering if anyone would like to go in for a share of 100. This is just in principle and would need firming up if the discount is available, mind you it's still not bad at £2.76 each.
