I need to buy some more stuff to store my yeast samples in, however, the supplier likes to sell in lots of 1000, so I thought others may be interested.

30ml screw cap tubes/vials.
Ideal size for making slants, splitting packs of yeast yeast or storing yeast samples, they're virtually the same as what commercial suppliers (Brewlab) use.
Most likely 28ml flat bottom vials, or if they are cheaper 30ml v bottom ones.
Price should be about $16/100.

1.5ml Microfuge tube with cap.
No screw-top (I can't find any reasonably priced that do, $30/1000 compared to $500/1000), but they are a great size for small yeast samples, especially if you need to mail/transport/share them. The manufacturer says the caps should be water-tight and they should be OK for liquid samples. They look like this.
Price should be about $3/100.

Both are made from Polypropylene so can be heat sterilized.
If you are not in Melbourne and/or cannot pickup, add $6 for a 500g post pack (single orders should fit easily).

If you are able to pickup (and reply quickly) I can pickup some glass petri dishes:
Petri dish soda economy 100mm diam: $2.20ea.

***Important Conditions***
I'm NOT going to mail glass, sorry but if you cannot pickup, I can't buy petri dishes for you.
At $3/100 the microfuge tubes are not worth posting @ $6, get some if you can pickup, or add them to an order for the larger tubes.
If including postage I'd suggest that order lots less than 100 is not cost-effective, but order in batches of 50 if you wish. :)
None of the above items are in stock at the supplier, and I need to pre-pay before they order them.
I intend to place an order for 1000 of each of the tubes, and enough petri dishes for myself within the next few days.
IF there is enough interest BEFORE I place the order, I will order more.
Otherwise there will only be a total of 1000 of each of the tubes on offer - and the offer will remain open until they are all accounted for.

Questions welcome, please add your name to the running list if you wish to buy some.

The prices in the first post have been confirmed*.

An order for the following has been invoiced (but not paid yet):
1000x 28ml flat bottom vials
1000x 1.5ml microfuge tubes
11 petri dishes

Order turn-around once they have been paid is about 1 week.

I'll leave this open for another couple of days to give everyone a chance to see it, BUT if we go over 1000 of the 30ml vials, the total order must be at or close to the next 1000 (I don't want to be stuck with 500 of the things).

(* Orders for more petri dishes are subject to price/availability, they did not have cheap ones in stock so we got more expensive ones at the same price, I don't know if they will do this for any more added.)

If I count correctly that's 1000 of the 30ml vials.
There MUST be (close to) multiples of 1000 more (in the next couple of days) to order more.
...else you can go on the standby list if someone pulls out.

Petri dishes are used to culture samples and for streaking.
1.5ml tubes (as per the first post) are used to store/send small samples.
 
I'm happy to split 100x 30ml tubes with someone in melb. I'd never use 100
