For a few reasons I'm downsizing my collection. If there is enough interest I'll list some Gymnocalyciums and Turbinicarpus on the sales page, £3 each. The only problem might be getting boxes as I doubt the supermarkets are offering the wine boxes at the moment.
Let me know.
Is anyone interested in some Gymnocalyciums and Turbinicarpus?

I'd love to see the list ... lost a couple of these over the past few days
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Potentially interested Nick - your Escobarias were excellent.
I find a trip to LIDL or ALDI sorts me out with small boxes. If you get wide flat tray type boxes with 4 equal sides (e.g. to hold tinned produce), a few cuts down the sides and a couple of folds of the base against a straight edge and I have nice small boxes, rather less than half the base size of the original tray, for free.
Otherwise, a pair of tray type boxes and a couple of cuts and a little tweaking and you have a box/lid pair.

I have always bought in small double-wall cardboard boxes from Davpak who have a very rapid service (https://www.davpack.co.uk/cardboard-boxes/double-wall/)
Customers are usually quite happy to pay an extra 50p or £1 on postage to get their plants in a nice strong new box.
