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.
"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!
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?

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