    You might want to peruse Craigslist in your area for them. They're very expensive to ship by UPS. If you can find a local seller and pick them up, it will be much more economical. Try searching in several categories too. Store equipment, crafts, collectibles, jewelry. I found 5 like new Allstate 34" X 22" cases from a former seller of costume jewelry in my locale a couple years ago for around 1/3 of retail. image

    Some deals available on eBay too.

    I was lucky enough to have a fellow forum member sell me one. I would also suggest that the next show you are at to inquire with some of the dealers. Ive noticed over the years that if you look you can usually find a few for sale at each show.

    I agree.

    Don't forget to ask at the table where supplies are sold. They often will have new and/or used cases.

    Wish I thought about buying one at the Dalton show.

    Why bother buying, rent them. At most of my local shows they rent them at $20 for the first one and $5 for every one after that. One show even offer 3 of them as part of the table fee. They are usually newer and unscratched. If they are scratched, negotiate. I did a few times and the guy took $7 per case, but i've only set up at a few shows.
    May not be the way you want to go but depending on how many you need and how often you'll be setting up, there's usually this option.
