     From a very un-reliable source ST-225s sell in quantity for <$150
(my brother seemed to think it was $135).  But don't start filling my
mbox, I know I can't get them for that.  The quantity is probably 100+.

     The best deal I've made was $200 at a computer show in S.F..  The 
guy in front of me had just paid $215 for his.

     Good Luck.
