Alternative Source for Dia Compe ferrules

Recently I had to buy a bag of Dia-Compe 95 Ferrules because there were none at the local Co-op and these were $9 for a bag of 10!! I figured I'd buy a bag of 200 and donate the majority to the Co-op for karma but not at that price.

Doesn't matter where I look they are all roughly $9 for a bag of 10 Dia Compe plus shipping.

If you go on line you see multiple listings for bulk orders of ferrules that fit every other known set of brakes and cables and you pay around $10 to $25 for 200.

Example Sunlite ones which are very close in shape (but don't quite work in Dia Compe brakes) 200 for $13.58

It's only Dia Compe compatible ones that are like this - even the Chinese knock offs are that price.

Does anyone know where these ferrules can be found cheaper?
