Cheap 72-pin connectors?

I know this has been discussed a bunch of times, but has anyone found a cheap reliable source for these? I'd be most interested...

Well my cheap and reliable source is Gannon, but as your way out in Japan.... Try ebay Japan. They might be selling conveters cheaply, they're tipicly ~$5.

No, not converters, the U-shaped 72-pin connectors you find in a real NES. Either that or straight ones if I have to. But I'd rather have the U-shaped ones if possible.

Ebay.

I guess look for people on ebay that are willing to send them over seas than.

I don't really need it sent to Japan, since I'll be back in America in a few months. But I was hoping to get them in bulk, so I was looking for something better than "eBay" :/
Jack: what website? And was it just a 72-pin edge connector by itself? I might be OK with that...

I got my 60-72 pin converters for $1 a piece, but then after shipping they cost me around $2.50. The 72 pin connectors are pretty easy to desolder from them too.

Well, I want them for my mini-NES, so I was hoping to have a U-shaped one like the real NES (mainly so I can replace the one in my real NES and then use the old one for this, but I digress)
Mind telling me where you got the adapters from, and how many you need to buy to get them for such a nice price? PM is OK
