How true! I finally splurged and bought a carton of RP System oxygen 
scavenger from Mitsubishi so I could sell a few to one client.
On top of the price for buying hundreds of these little packets, I paid 
freight, duty, and import taxes (big time). To top it off, they are still 
on my tab to mother Mitsubishi. Now they are sitting on my shelf (they do 
have a long shelf life) and I have to publicize both the product and its 
availability.  If this was my primary means of supporting myself, I'd be 
long gone.

Hey, anybody out there need a really good, long-life, effective scavenger 
for oxygen and corrosive gases? I got lots!
