Can someone recommend a good supplier of these kind of springs?
I would like to order 50-100 of them and am not finding much on eBay
or Google.
Thanks...

Might be cheaper to buy 100 pens and disassemble them.

What's your time worth?

It will take more time to find one, and you'd have to buy
more than you want, compared to just buying 50 of the
cheapest pens you can find (verifying beforehand that they
have springs you find acceptible).

That's just how it goes, if you want to have a part and
don't want high volume (50 springs is not high volume) you
often find it's cheaper to buy the cheapest thing that
incorporates that part.

Hardware stores around here have a wide variety of springs, both large
and small. Don't know if something there would meet your needs...
