No idea what the usual price is on these, but have you reached out to local hospitals to see if they are interested? I know the hospital I work at is starting to have trouble sourcing supplies. May be a better use of these masks than selling to randos on the internet.

From what I remember, the n95 masks are $20 for 10 before? So $100 for those, that mask was $7-10 and the filters for that $20 max

Look at the items on eBay selling from the states.  My 5N11 filters were ordered from MSCdirect. My prices will go up to roughly reflect wherever items are available from the US.  Right now you are paying close to eBay prices for just the filters - not the mask + retainer + primary filter.

My rate is about what you would pay at an Ace Hardware - so high end retail.  The difference is US based shipping, and all of the pieces needed to make it work well come together.  I have contacted my local hospital with what they need to get (not trying to hawk my wares). But the problem is middle management rent seekers in both our govt & medical institutions will happily allow their own incompetence to throw ER doctors & everyone else under the bus.  The time to order N95 masks IN BULK was January.  These are next on the list but I seriously doubt they are getting them either & I expect them to be out of supply in short order (Pence is already requesting construction companies donate these / not order any more).

US based manufacturing got a huge contract from Singapore, HK & Japan for 100,000,000 orders on disposable N95s before the administration put their order in.  Add in the fact that 90% of these masks come from China & haven't shipped for months - our entire system is a clusterfuck.  I feel terrible for old doctors.  But if you want to pay someone in admin $100K a year who has no idea on what supply lines look like, then ignores every red flag in the book - I can't fix that. 

I've already clued in a few doctors who are concerned including ER docs.  I would happily sell my supply for 2X what I paid for it or point anyone in the medical field in the right direction (door is closing fast on that).
