Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - 3T mutant stem

I hate to post a thread like this, but I would love to find one of these stems for my IRO build and it seems to be nearly impossible to find. I need 1 1/8" threadless, standard bars, maybe 100-120 length, in silver. They all but don't exist on websites, when they do they are crazy expensive, and there is one on ebay but it's expensive as well.
I'd just get the one on ebay, but when I search old threads here I see people having bought them for $5 or $10 at chucks bikes, xxcycles, and a bunch of other places in the last few years.
Anyone know of a good place to find one, or have one they want to sell me? Used is fine.
Thanks guys.

Ahem. Mine is 1-1/8". I have to use a shim for my Pista's 1" steerer tube. I got mine on craigslist for $8.

I'm pretty sure the Mutant has been out of production for a while now. I think the only place to get them is on eBay.

I bought a silver 110 off eBay yesterday or the day before for $20; they turn up for good prices from time to time, but they're generally more expensive now that they're out of production.

yeah, they are awesome but I don't want to be really, really stretched out too much. I'm a kinda short guy.
Here's mine that I bought for $8 last week.

$20 off technicsorr, but I still have yet to mount it
perhaps instead of looking for one, wait for it to come to you

My condolences.
if you like the curvy look, the cinelli groove is another option. there should still be a few on ebay; i picked up a 90mm one a few weeks ago.

Technicsorr?
Well I haven't heard a word from piratelove, so if anyone else has any to offer, I guess PM me? Or I'll wait (not so) patiently?
I must have gotten lucky if these are so hard to find- I walked into Ye Olde Bike Shoppe in San Diego, asked for a threadless stem and the owner pulled out a 1 1/8 3T Mutant in silver and said "$10".

Here is another source for the Cenilli Groove, Mutant look-alike. (http://www.ital-tecno.com/shopexd.asp?id=400)

There are a bunch of 3T Mutant Stems on eBay right now, silver, red and yellow, almost all in the 110 to 140mm sizes.

i have a black 1" on my 'beater ss' there's also cinelli bars and a couple of other random parts :D
Wish I was looking for one of these last year, now they are all too long or too much $$. There doesn't seem to be any nice looking stems beng produced right now. The Thompson & Deda look ok, but the Cinelli alter and 3T Mutants look so much cooler as well as the older Cinelli Quills, than anything new (IMHO).
i have a 1 inch, threadless silver 130mm mutant in mint condition (never mounted). pm if interested in buying. i got it cheap and will let it go for cheap.
Thanks for the offer Cat, I ended up getting one on ebay (115mm) think maybe it is a 120mm and it might be too long. If I get some risers this length might be okay but if I go with some drops or bull horns I might need to find a 90mm. All the 90's seem to be gong for 60+.
