I need a bunch (about 200) of cardholders. I'm talking about the little
metal frame that goes on the front of a drawer and lets you slip in a card
describing the contents of the drawer. These used to be standard on things
like storage drawers, file cabinets, etc. Size is not critical (2 x 3
inches seems about right). Cheap is good.
This seemed like the kind of thing Lee Valley would have, but I didn't see
them in the Hardware section their web site. Can anybody suggest a source?

Note: Lee Valley's hardware calls them 'Label Holders' and a search for
Label holders at Lee Valley.

G'day Roy,
Give this bloke a go. I have purchased some stuff from him and found the
prices to be pretty good.

Search Lee Valley on "card holder" (two words) and you'll find them,
also search Rockler on "card holder" and you'll find a number of
them--"label" will get you a few more.

WOW! What a perfect example of ebay pricing. In this thread I have
seen these card holders selling for a low of $0.69 each to a price of
$6.95 (plus 6 bucks shipping for a total of $12.00 each) on ebay. I
guess some of us do great on ebay but it seems everytime I check
anything out on ebay it is a real rip off.
The other day I saw someone wearing a T Shirt. Emblazoned across the
front and back were the following words: "I sold my brain on EBay."
A crazier phenomenon I have observed is buyers paying up to 5x the
price for so-called "antique" tools which are actually iin current
production. Then there are the countless scams. For example, I have
an interest in audiophile equipment. Recently I was on a website
where a guy was advertising a very high-end amplifier for which he
wanted around $6,000. While perusing Ebay I found the identical
ad--photo, verbiage, everything down to the last line. It was being
advertised by a guy in India who instructed the buyer to only send
payment by Western Union. The scammer in India simply surfs the web,
picks out items he thinks will sell, lifts the ad, puts it on EBay for
less money, and instructs buyers to send funds only by Western Union.
I just wonder how many people are sucked in by such scams. I send
EBay a notice of this obvious scam and never got a response. You
would think EBay would want to control this scamming out of their own
self interest. All of this FWIW.

I've seen them at Rockler's. I KNOW they have them with the little tab
to use as a drawer pull (like the old library card catalogs) but pretty
sure they also have them without. Have you checked their on-line catalog?
