Really, outside the RC world ther is a lot to get for much better prices.
I have 5x10 bearings for my clutch costing 25 cent a piece when buying 50 pcs. I have 25 rubber sealed bearings 12x18 for most shafts in my car for 70 cent a piece. and I have bought 25 rubber sealed bearings 5x8 just costing 20 cent a piece. Just by doing some searches on Ebay and compare the founded results.....
