    The best I've found is eBay- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    EDIT:
    Cheaper with 12 colors of 550 and lots of colors of 450. Cheapest shipping option is $11.

    Hmm? Supply Captain is $7 for 100' and the eBay store is $4.39 for 50'.

    Check local first, if that's an option.

    My local Army Surplus place has lots of color choices in cheap paracord ripoffs. I wouldn't hang a pinata from the stuff, but it would be perfect for costume jewelry.

    The bushcraft guys make a lot of stuff from the 550 with the idea that if push came to shove they would always have 20 or 30 feet of paracord with them. Some of the ideas are wrap a skeletonized knife with a few fishing hooks and line then taped under a paracord wrapped handle. You wouldn't really want to do this with the inferior product, though I have no idea how it compares to Mil spec. stuff.

    Here is where the riggers get the stuff for our parachute systems:

    http://www.paragear.com

    It should be in the menu under "raw materials". Got some amazing buckles and snaps in there, too, under the "Hardware" tab!

    There are a few other parachute rigging equipment dealers..I just remembered that one.

    I bought a bunch from http://www.para-cord.com/ because I needed it and procrastinated buying it.

    The TIAT (tying it all together) videos give a link to this site.
