There are a number of things in Kodak's catalogue (35mm cans 1000', molecular sieves, etc) that have minimum orders higher than what I need. FATF/AMIA is working on a purchasing scheme that can distribute smaller quantities to individuals and organizations. There might be other groups attempting to do something like this, however that this happening within AMIA's ranks is a positive thing IMO.
