I looked online and prices have increased considerably and what's left are bulk purchases. 100 pair of eclipse glasses anyone?
As I posted earlier:

And unfortunately, it turns out that at least some of those 28 sellers are pushing counterfeit, or improperly packaged/damaged, or otherwise suspect merchandise.
Do you happen to remember which of the (then-numerous) sellers you purchased from?
I purchased mine on Amazon a couple of weeks ago at a still-reasonable, though increasing price: about $20 for a 10-pack, from GSM Sales (a third-party seller who uses Fulfillment by Amazon, and who apparently actually does get them from American Paper Optics).
(They are now vastly more expensive than when I bought, though when I bought, they had already jumped in price.)
