Where to get those Eyepiece Cases/Bolts?

Seem to be about $5-$7 ea!? Come on they are just glorified film canisters (value .20). I'm sure if you just plonked down $200 on a premium EP, that seems fine, but I've got 10 or so, low cost EPS, and that seems kind of a senseless pricing to me (maybe not to all, but hey, I like to be innovative with household and/or hardware stuff...err, okay, i'm cheap smile

So...has anybody thought of some household product or something like that that doubles as one of these...I was just trying to think of what would fit, but can't exactly think of anything. Or, if there is a good (cheap) source for these things, then yeah, I'll order 10. Anybody? Anyone?

Thanks,
TomL

Surplus Shed also has plastic ontainers for 1.25" eyepieces for just $.75 each. They are not the bolt type, but rather have a slide on top. The price is right for less pricey eyepieces. Go to www.surplusshed.com and check out their eyepiece section.
