Anywhere cheaper than this ? Yes I know they aren't the optimal solution but I do use them from time to time and buying a 10 pack is stupid expensive. I figure I'll buy 500 of R/B/Y and be set for a few years.

And..... any reason why he sells the "cream" ones cheaper ? Is there a quality difference ?

First listing is made in the US ..... most likely that's why

the first listing also has a more flexible outer jacket. itbends with the crimp, where the cream ones often puncture.

although i have never had a problem with the cream ones either
