If you don't mind a bit of cutting, buy battle mats from chessex. You get 23x26 for $13.95, which means you get 4 10x10 boards, by cutting it up. so that averages to about $3.49 per 10x10 mat. or 6 10x8 boards for average of $2.32 per board. http://www.chessex.com/mats/Battlemats_Megamats.htm you can also buy reversible mats and double your pleasure for about 50% more in cost. http://www.chessex.com/mats/Battlemats_MegamatsReversible.htm
I got a supplier and placed an order for 200 vynil 10x10 boards, and will be ready to distribute them soon. More details later on...
Seems to me you are ripped off for the 10x10. Where I live, the World is saturated with them. Also 10x8 is produced and commercially available in the U.S. for $30, including pieces. It is not allowed on this website to refer to their supplier, though.
I asked a chess reseller whether he couldn't sell 10x10, 8x10, and gustavian boards by retail. After all, he is selling the Seirawan piece set so he could improve sales of this by selling chess variant boards. But he couldn't even produce vinyl board mats because these would cost $50 each while the interest is so low. It is strange that I cannot buy variant board sizes anywhere, except European draughts boards (10x10) that cost around 40 pounds, excluding shipment and VAT. Mats
