Buying 230 M-motors: advice needed

[JopieK]

Hi guys,

for some robotics project we want to buy 230 M-motors for our students (univ. of appl. sciences). I asked LEGO but they said, well ask you LEGO Education supplier. Well, I did. They offer that M-motor for about 12€ (LEGO for 9€). I told them and they agreed to offer them for the same price as LEGO. But if I buy 230 of them, I'm wondering how to make a cheaper deal. Any tips? Maybe through AFOL clubs (I'm member of BeLUG, 1000steine and de Bouwsteen), or directly in Oberhausen at the LEGO store?

The students need to buy a kit with those motors included so I want to make a good deal for them of course.

Sincerely Johan

I think it would probably be wiser to buy them directly from whoever has them the cheapest. I checked bricklink and no one there has enough of them. So LEGO would probably work best :)
