If you're looking for those kinds of items, I would recommend you look up a middle-man. Earth_Maiden helped me a lot with this, and I believe that's where she gets all of her also(you can view pictures of her collection the Ayu Collection thread in the Ayu Chat-Room forum). You can find cell phone traps sold for around 500 to 800 yen each. The handling fee for the middle-man(I've been looking at Crescent Shop, they charge 500yen for everything under 4k yen) can differ, but depending how the shipping might cost you, it can come back to be very cheap compared to the stuff sold on eBay.

I made a few calculation for myself. I live in Canada, and I calculated that for one cell phone strap, the shipping would never be more than 500yen. So, 1 cell phone strap at 500yen + handling fee at 500yen + shipping at 500yen, it comes down to 1500yen, which is about 15$USD. That comes to be cheaper than most of the cell phone straps sold on eBay, which I found went from 25 to 40$USD each, NOT INCLUDING shipping.

But then again, it's totally up to you! I keep checking every week for the Ayu cell phone straps also, but have never seen any of them under 20$(not including shipping) for the past 2 months(I wasn't really shopping online before that). I think you might just need to be stubborn and keep searching in order to find descent prices on eBay.
