Are Classicnib and meisternib the only two places that sell these taps?

I've been to Biscotool,littlemachineshop, victornet and tapco and was given the price range of expensive to prohibitively expensive. With Tapco, I can get a dozen taps for just $100 more of what it would cost to buy one.

I've been through a lot of posts and threads and am having difficulty finding any mention of what I would consider decent pricing for a single tap. I've managed to locate the dies needed at 1/3 the going rate, so that's at least a relief.

I understand costs of small production runs but I think some of this doesn't make sense to me.

They are not a commonly stocked item which is why Classic Nibs and I started having them made and why we carry them. I would like to know the source you found for dies since like everyone else I would like to have a cheaper source.

Triple lead or single? I thought that from your posting that you found a 7.4 x.5 die
