us0.36 is about average for taiyo yudens (+R 8x). Sony discs typically cost more than that (sometimes as much as us39.95 for a 50pk.). So, yeah, you got a good deal.
When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

I got some sony yuden000-T02- +8x for $15 a 50 pack spindle at staples. This sale was over today. That's $45 for 150 of them- or 30 cents each. Actually, I got them for $36 after using the staple's ink cartridge vouchers.

I've never seen 75 pack spindles.
Did one of those spindles get a mix of japanese and taiwanes media?
Or are they 3, 50 pack spindles?

36 2/3 cents each is a little high, but not a rip-off
Personally, I NEVER pay more than 30 cents apiece nowadays for media ... I can always find Verbs at that price AND
@ BurningAs .. first off, have you tried a fire extinguisher?
secondly, if you replace my Sony Tv, along with the rest of my Sony equiptment, I'll gladly let you smadh it ...

TY DVD+R 8X runs near the 40 cent mark delivered from SuperMediaStore.com so I feel it's a good deal for TY media.

ScubaBud, including "Ground" shipping to Florida, the cheapest the 8x TYs can get from supermediastore.com is us0.53/disc.
That's -really- bad.

Jallan, SuperMediaStore.com has sales all the time, just like sales listed here. I have purchased them for that as well.

I know I know, they were us20/50pk+sh for a while and I'm sure they were even less at times. Currently, I believe rima.com still has them for us20/50pk+us5.50sh.
Does rima have the current best deal for T02s (after shipping)?

If you bought 2 75 packs, How did you get 100 MIJ and 50 MIT?

Sounds like a re-pack to me
Maybe made up from returned discs??

sounds like that to me too, i have never seen a "75-pack" spindle before, so, it MUST be a re-pack as catfreak suggested...weird.
25-pack, 50-pack, 100-pack..but never right in between..interesting concept though...

Leave it to the Walton's to wrap together a 50 and a 25 pack ...
Crazy rich so and so's
You know, back in his day old Sam was known to wear mis-matched socks because he was too darn cheap to use water at his house to do laundry until they had enough to do a bunch of loads (recycling the wash water in a laundry tub, and using it for all the loads) only using fresh water for the final rinse ...

Sam's Club in Sunrise (just west of Ft. Lauderdale) had the 50-pack + 25-pack bundle of Sony +Rs as well. All the 50-packs that I looked at were labeled MIJs. I did notice that the 25-pack label was obscured by the bundle wrap so that's how they sneaked in the MITs I guess. I'll look in a couple of other stores to see if they are also bundled that way when I get a chance.

ScubaBud, I'm actually living on the West Coast below Venice this time of the year. I was in your area hosting some Canadian friends who had flown down to escape the -20C weather at home. Last year was Orlando. They wanted to do the Everglades and Keys this year, so what better place than Ft. L for a staging area! :)

So true laddyboy... I used to live up north and swore I would move to where it was warm year round. I did in 1981 and have been happy ever since.

I've mentioned this in the past: But, I find it very odd that the only MIJ Sonys are in 50pks.

I've never seen a 25 pack of sony +8x that had Made in Japan on the wrappers. The 50 packs,are about a 50% chance of getting Yuden000-T02. I've probably burned about 800-900 of the Yuden000-T02 between the sony and fuji +8x.
