Sometimes ADB will sell bags of so-called "factory rejects" which are ships which didn't quite fit the bill in terms of quality. I bought quite a few of these bags last year or so, and they were an incredible bargain of like a bag of 10 ships for 10-15 USD. I picked up about 5 of these and have used them for the core of my fleets, thereafter adding full-priced, better quality ships to the mix to fill them out.
The only downside to the bags, other than quality was that the variety was not always there (though I did get them rather late, after all the good pickings were gone). But that's really looking a "gift horse in the mouth" if you know what I mean. And hey, as a Klingon player I don't mind have 15 D7s anyway ('side if I just file off the wing phasers I get a D6!).
I don't know if that's something ADB will ever do again, I think that they sell these bags at Gencon or Origins, but via mail order I don't think they do it very often.
