There's a Horticultural wholesaler who supplies strong Propagation cell Trays to the nursery industry. They used to offer them in the Amateur Gardener 10 years back (from which I bought some) but currently they're only available in cases of 25 of one cell size. They're lovely trays, stated to last 8 years with care, and much better than the flimsy inserts usually offered.
Each tray measures 20" x 13" (520mm x 330mm) larger than the average seed tray, and are in the following sizes:
77cells (square) @ 40x40x50mm deep
54cells (round) @ 50mm diam. x54mm deep
35cells (round) @ 58mm diam. x 63mm deep

Obviously I don't need 25 trays of each size. So, if I bought a case of each and retained 5 for my own use, would any members be interested in buying the other 20 of each from me (split between members - not the whole lot). They'll be strictly non-profit making - if I wanted to make money I'd put them on Ebay!
They'll probably go for under £3 each depending on the exact amount I'm charged by the company for delivery. There's two limitations however; they'll only be 20 of each size available (I don't wish to order them by the hundred!), and the offer is only open to members residing within the Greater London area. Because I don't want to add to the the price by repacking them and adding secondary postage, I'm willing to deliver the trays for free (It won't cost me a penny with my Freedom Pass).
I'm looking for viable offers so I can go ahead and place an order from the company. Anyone be interested?
