Just call OIDs-R-Us!

They are a chain of discount OID suppliers. Their slogan is "It may not
be known worldwide, but its known pretty far!" I got OIDs there for
everyone in my family for Christmas.

They take VISA/MC too!

1-800-222-1234
(specify sort-of-known, well-known, or world-wide unique -- note, they might
be out of stock of those last ones).

p.s. I have no affiliation with OIDs-R-US other than being a satisfied
customer.
