Somewhere in my mame-web-surfing I found a BYOACer's webpage that sold long ones for $5.  I can't find the link now though.  I ended up buying 3 of the ones you show from R.S.  They're a little closer to $2.50 than $3 I think, but in any case, I definitely think that barrier strips are overpriced.

I did the same.  I figured at that price even if you found them cheaper online the shipping wouldn't make it worth while.

Allelectronics.com has them a little cheaper.  I bought an assortment that were around $1.50-2.25 each for the most part.  The biggest one I bought was a 10-position but I think they had bigger ones.

Fry's also has them cheaper and outpost.com might have the same prices.

Thanks, mate!  I might carry them in the future, if there was a significant demand for them.

I carry these at the GroovyGameGear store under the "connectors"  category.

12-position - $1.25 each

If someone just wants to order connectors, ignore the shipping charges calculated by the store software.  I''l throw them in a $3.85 Priority envelope an charge accordingly (which is what we usually do for small and or inexpensive items that will fit safely).
