No E bay isn't. Try the led shoppe. You can get 1000 red 5mm LED's for $10.

"8000mcd 5mm Red LED Quantity : 1000pcs Regular price: $25.00" Still the best deal I've ever seen, but your quote of off by a factor of 2.5... And they only get more expensive from there. Just the facts mahm. :D I like this store though!

They must have been on sale when I was there or I wasn't paying attention.

Thanks for the source! They do have some good prices. Just limited variations.

ya, they do have limited variations though, but they have free shipping! That saves me like $50 every time I order. Another good place is electronic goldmine. They are a bit more expensive but they have everything you can imagine: surface mount, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, a giant 20mm, UV, IR, RGB color changing, RGB common cathode, square and rectangular, bargraphs, dot matrix, and some other random ones.

eBay is the cheapest place to find LEDs in quantities. They will come from China or Hong kong, so it will take about 3 weeks to get them. What type power supply do you plan to use?
