[sdiy] Trays for through hole resistors?

[synth]

I don't know if you are being serious or not with the question.  I  
have stored my parts in poly bags for years without any issues of  
oxidation.  And I am sure that most if not all part houses (Mouser,  
Digikey,etc.) don't vacuum seal parts.  I would suggest that living in  
a climate controlled house and using poly bags is enough to control  
oxidation for many many years without worry or issues with DIY builds  
and repairs.
