Have you tried your LBS? I can get them dirt cheap local from the shop as they have bulk boxes with them.
Four years ago I got 10 of them for $2.99 each to include free shipping off Ebay.
As already mentioned though, under normal use I would expect them to be lasting a lot longer. I use a lot as I refurbish a lot of used bikes. But for my riders I would be shocked to have them failing so quickly and would have to figure out why.
