I just found the same boxes at HobbyLobby, they were a reasonable $12.00 ...
If I'm going to 'guess', the big names (amazon & Michaels) are simply
taking advantage of the situation.
On a slightly different situation, Michael's had 12"x12"x3" boxes, regularly
$10 a piece, this week on sale for only $5.00 ... Wait, Hobby Lobby has the same
exact ones at $3.99 a piece, every day price.

| I use dollar store storage plastic totes with lids for $1.25. Then put my parts
in ziplock sandwich bags. If I have a lot of bricks I use the free medium priority
boxes. Pretty cheap for me.

I use cardboard boxes with smaller boxes (and sometimes bags) inside them. I
do still have some plastic totes from back when I thought they were a good idea.
I still have some of those cube type boxes, that are covered with cheap cloth
(that deteriorates within a few years) but I am gradually throwing them out as
the cloth is turning to dusty strands.

I do not own any teeny tiny drawer units -- not even for my own personal
Lego collection.
If I were gonna invest in drawers, I would buy the GOOD Akro-Mils drawer units
that are more than 10 inches deep. They have always been expensive, but worth
every dollar.

The steel cabinet Akro-Mils drawers can hold A LOT more Lego goodness than the
teeny tiny plastic ones.

few more, and yesterday I went back and got 4 more .... The price is the SAME
