Just pick any of the Hong Kong Ebay electronic bits sellers and ask for
a quote for the number and the spec that you want. I did that for a load
of USB power "wall warts", rated at 5v 1A (the type with a built-in USB
socket). They came in at under 1GBP each, IIRC.
They had quite an interesting SMPSU design - which I found out when I
opened a DOA one. As that one had a resistor that had been clearly
broken during the case assembly, they clearly don't test them following
prior to shipping.
