Cheapest reflective stuff is probably paracord, but I don't think it's much use for guy lines- stretchy.
NiteIze makes reflective cord (available via amazon?) and Hilleberg guy line is also reflective. Both of those are fairly pricey, though.
Try searching at REI or this $1.50/m stuff from MEC
It is nice not to trip over guylines in the dark, though.
Another possibilty is to buy some reflective grosgrain tape from diygearsupply.com and add that to your tarp pullouts...
Lawson Equipment has some nice reflective cord in orange, green, & black. Underground quilts has some good, super small diameter hi-vis cord in the same colors.

FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

I take some reflective cord and lay it around the perimeter of my ground stakes (usually not backpacking though) so that myself and others can see that there is something there to possibly trip over, especially at group hangs that have kids running around playing in the dark.

Nite Ize lightens it up no doubt but seemed to tangle easy at least for me. Switched to zing it but like the reflective tape idea and may have to give that a go..
