52 enclosures arrived today. More than half of the are extremely useable. The remainder do not have the sponge seals. Several have some dribbles of a black substance on the outside (guessing a black tar) and a few have a flat antenna glued to the inside which can be removed without much difficulty. Neither of these "extras" would preclude use for housing the MR16.
Please send me a PM (do not post in this forum) if you would want enclosures. Be sure to include the quantity you are interested in and your zip code so that I can get a better estimate on shipping.
The per enclosure price will be less than $2 each. I am guessing that most efficient (for shipping ) quantity will probably be in groups of 4 (using standard box) but will check with UPS and USPS to see what is doable.

Update: Current Talley: 10 requests for total of 45 enclosures.
Added pictures so that the less than perfect can be seen. The enclosure at the top is perfect with the sponge seals. The enclosure in the middle has no sponge seals but does have 2 strain relief type plastic connectors. Most of the boxes in this condition only have one (in the middle hole). The bottom still has the holes plugged but does have the antenna previously mentioned. For those interested, the second picture is of the back of the antenna. Because of the size of the connecting cable, this antenna appears to be suitable for cell phone or similar use.
A little research indicates that shipping will be between $8 and $9 for a box with 4 enclosures. To cover Ebay, Paypal, shipping and any packing mat'ls, (and to keep the costs simple), I'm rounding to $16 total for 4 enclosures.
Unless the requester specifies otherwise, I'll split each group of 4 evenly between the almost perfect and not so perfect.. with pot luck on who gets antennas.
