Where’s the cheapest place to buy magic bands?

I like the convenience of magic bands, but don’t want to spend $40 for each.
We’re headed to WDW this summer and would like to have them before leaving

My Disney Experience offers pre trip discounts on magic bands. May not be the cheapest but it's something.

I’ve a small drawers worth of them and hope they are still good cause I will never pay money for them. Of course I also don’t care what color they are so guessing I’m not the target market.

You don't have any old ones? Old ones still work, the batteries are dead so you won't get ride photos from them but they will work with anything you tap!

We might have some from 2015. I didn’t know if they would still work

Ebay is an option, make sure they are unopened and unlinked. If buying the MB2, make sure they are recent, so they work for photos as well as tap functions. 2015 should still work for the tap functions, but not long range options.

They’ll work for anything that involves tapping Mickey to Mickey - opening resort room doors, entering parks and LLs, charging to your resort account.

They won’t link long distance ride photos, like Seven Dwarfs. For those, if you allow your MDE to use Bluetooth on your phone, the photos should link.

I purchased 2 last year on ebay, both solid color ones. In original packaging and unlinked, I think I paid about 14 dollars each.

Older MB you already own will continue to work indefinitely for any feature that does NOT require the battery. Personally, I wouldn't chance buying MB's from some private party on Ebay since once used they are NOT transferable and you may get stuck with something you can't use. Even if they say 'new/unused' you won't know that for sure until you try to use it.
