That would be me :)

$8.57 for the lamp
$15.00 for the inverter
$1.43 to cover my shipping costs.
It is more expensive than a bulk order would be, but that is the
price of convieniance.
You'll also notice that I notifed people that they could probably
get the inverters cheaper thru a third party (I have heard that you
can get them for $10 from digikey), but most chose to pay for
these. Go figure :)
If you can get the full kit significantly cheaper, let us know!

Sure, there are about 30 places. As someone here already said,
the demand for EL is pretty big, so there are lots of suppliers.

Sign up (its free), then do a search for electrolumincent (be sure to
spell it right :). Just about all of the places will be happy to quote you
price for a lot of 100 lamps with inverters, including tooling costs.
A few have online catalogs so you can get more details.
One advantage to ordering like this is that you can get any color
you want (from most companies)!
A disadvantage is that you can only get one size (ie TI-85 or 92, but
not both)
