  I saw them recently in EE Times or somesuch magazine advertised much cheaper
  than this.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the mag, the price, or the
  company!  I'll look for the add again but I recall that they were advertised
  as "available in production quantities" so they do exist.  They were still
  more expensive than the red/green/yellow ones but several orders of 
  magnitude less than the price you quote above.
