want some realy cheap ones........ do you have a drill and a pair of vice grips. Use a wooden dowel cut them about 2 inches long and drill a hole in the middle I did that my first year!!! I was even able to get thim into tubing!!! cost VERY CHEAP!!!

Check Bascom's web site for used ones, or Leader, or Maple Guys (they're in Mass, too I believe...and created this site). Check the classifieds on here - there have been a bunch listed lately. Check CraigsList or local classifieds. Heck, I'll sell you some of mine if need be.

Edit - AVOID ebay. I love ebay and there are lots of spouts on there, but they are all greatly over-priced. Check the web sites above.

From my experience ebay is no more expensive than dealer websites.

20 cast aluminum taps on ebay - 40 + 9 shipping
20 on maple guys - 44 + 10
20 on bascom - 56

Granted on a dealer website you could save with shipping if you buy other items at the same time. Seasonal spouts would be the cheapest solution as others have stated. I didn't like the whole idea of disposable taps so I went with metal ones and sanitize them in a pot of boiling water at the start of the season.
