I did for the first time last year and went to the farm markt. I used beer
can carboard flats and used a box cutter to cut them to carrying sizes for
the blocks.  I sold them for $1-2 each block, a high price for transplants
compared to the 25cent crappy ones from super duper box store, but they were
the highest quality seedling anyone had ever seen.  Often I would juggle
with the transplants to show how strong they were. 

They sold pretty well, and supplemtned my farm market income.

Best, John
