Counter-arbitrage indeed.

I was just looking at 1500 3 x 5 index cards for $3.00 at the local store and decided I couldn’t bring myself to buy them since I only needed 200 for a task and new I would never use any of the others.

And, having to fly to Ireland next week to do some teaching, I looked up the price of a pack of Leitz. Nothing in Ireland, but a 10 pack seems to average a cool £45 on UK amazon and another site. Now I’m pretty ignorant of the real prices of such items in Europe, let alone Australia, and no doubt they are cheaper where they are native, but your K-Marts carry Leitz binders? What else do they have? Or by same style, do you mean, some trashy old binder that just happens to have 2 posts instead of 3? Please, no.

…which suggests an obvious piece of counter-arbitrage: I’ll send you 20 USD worth of index cards cut to your specifications if you ship me an equivalent value of those luscious binders.
