Hey guys, I am really stumped on this one.
I am running low on x-bee headers -- 1x10, 2mm pitch, female. I have done eBay and all the "hot spots" (jameco, goldmine, etc) and can't find these darn things! I have gone through all my email as well as hard-copy invoices and I can't even figure out where I got them the last time.
I can, of course, find them at retail ($.90 to $1.00 /unit) but I can't seem to find them anywhere in bulk. I want to buy at least a 1000 and they should work out to < $.15/unit --Probably closer to $.05 /unit or so.
Has anyone seen these guys cross their path?
Best I have found so far is
20Pcs 2mm 40 Pin Female Single Row Header Strip http://tinyurl.com/cyxv56m
You can easily get 60 pcs out of that @ $.12 + labor. With your mill you might be able to assemble a device that would chop your strips to the proper size for you.
50Pcs New 2mm 40 Pin Female Single Row Pin Header Strip http://tinyurl.com/d6pzhhd
100Pcs 2mm 40 Pin Female Single Row Pin Header Strip http://tinyurl.com/csbtkpg
3000 pcs @ $.007 + LOTS of labor. 
Jameco does have them, but, the lowest price they list is for lots of 50 @ $.75 each. I would imagine they might lower their price for lots of 1000, but, I would doubt they would make the $.15 barrier.
digikey $.496 in lots of 1000
NPPN101BFCN-RC seems to be the lowest priced option I have found.

In my urge to be finished researching this,
I seemed to have managed to miss a decently priced find; http://tinyurl.com/c2ue7nl . It looks like about $.20 each in singles. I have no idea what shipping would/will do to that price.
Here is the link to the google search I did for these.
