Old-Style 16x Verbatim in the 25-pack - 100 pieces (4x25) - $24.32 shipped

Yes, I know it's eBay, but the seller has a good rating, and if you notice, the total price including shipping for 100 disks is cheaper than buying a 100-pack of neo-Verbs at OfficeMax. I know that several folks have said that the Verbs in the 25-pack tended to be of more consistent quality, and I know for sure that many feel that old-style Verbs are better than neo-Verbs.

Thank you very much negritude for the heads up

I might ask my brother to get me 4x25 packs specially that they seem CMC MIT and they are exactly half the price of neo-Verbatims here in Egypt !

BTW : Neo-Verbatims in 25 packs CMC MIT are excellent in my experience

I have boughten 600 -R and 400 +R from this seller.

Most of them are Prodisc but burn EXCELLENT at 16x, have not even tried faster.

I have been lucky enough to get around 100 each -+R's that are CMC.

This is a great deal and if you buy 300 or more you really save on shipping.

If you decide to buy ask him to not use Peanuts for packing because the Peanuts he uses are partially shredded and it's messy.

It's really a great deal if you buy 300, comes out to $8.50 shipped a 50 pack (for me anyway)

You just can't go wrong

Bigmike you are in Canada right? Must be why your shipping is higher.

I am seeing US $50.97 shipped for 300 on my end.

No. He has more, it's just that the auctions have ended because they're limited time. He has to relist his remaining spindles.

And he still has at least 3600 -R pieces, even though the +R auctions have ended.

I agree with Bigmike.
When you factor in your gas and time, I can't see how you can beat this deal. Mine was also $44.31 shipped....$0.22/disc.
Seems like a no-brainer for great media. If the ones I ordered burn good, and this guy still has some for sale, I believe I will pick up some more.
Saves me all the time and travel to the B&M's trying to find some decent stuff.

Plus, with the cost of oil and fuel skyrocketing, I can't see how the retailers can keep prices down much longer for most things. Price increases will have to happen.

How did you come up with that figure? They're $16.99 per 100. That alone will make them $50.97 before shipping. Did you have the impression that shipping was free?

This is good news - any preference / suggestions to which burns best (-R or +R) with new Sansung SH-S203 I just installed??

Thanks

Yo Dennis-

I have the 202 and it burns either one really great and almost exactly the same (with the +R MCC 004 being preferred) to the point that I bought 300 _R and 200 +R last night-eh!!

Re: Old-Style 16x Verbatim in the 25-pack - 100 pieces (4x25) - $24.32 shipped

Pay attention people. Here are the current items:

16 Purchases Left
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300222167410

13 Purchases Left
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300222452170

20 Purchases Left
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300222729482

Each purchase is 4x25-pack or 100 disks. They are all DVD-R. There is no DVD+R at the moment.

I've confirmed with the seller that the DVD+Rs are out of stock. So, it's DVD-R or nothing. Sorry folks.

My bad, no I know it's not free shipping, I just set for 3 in buy it now and forgot that doesn't add shipping until the next step


Still stands as a great deal none the less.
