I was hoping to do better than retail. I thought maybe there was an electronics distributor like Mouser where they could be purchased cheaper. That's the reason for the question.
Not really, unless you can figure out where they're getting 'em all in China.
Best bet is pretty much Bob Roberts, or Chad @ Arcadecup might be able to do you a deal if you bought several, he seems like a wheelin' and dealin' kinda guy. Don't tell him I said that though if he doesn't want to do that, lol.

from what i understand, most of these flybacks are application specific and don't move nearly enough units for any supplier to stock them except ones who deal exclusively in arcade parts.
