Need Source for "Cheap" Beveled Glass

I am looking for a source for "cheap" imported beveled glass panels. I looked around on the Internet last night, but nothing jumped off the page. I'm looking for panels roughly 10" x 14", though I am not committed to that exact size. As well as I can remember, I ordered my last batch from Pacific Art Glass in Wilmington, CA, but it appears I must have special ordered them and waited. Right now, they are telling me I need to order a case of 100-120 and wait four months. Considering they only cost in the $3.50 range, I will probably do just that, but I am hoping someone else has a different, but similar, source.

I can have custom beveled glass made, but prices range from $16 to $24 if done domestically. The others are imported from China.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Jackson

Mike,
What is the glass thickness? Exact quantity needed?
1/2" bevel?

Patrick,
I have been getting 1/4" thick glass with what looks like 1/2" bevels. I'd prefer 3/4" bevels so a little more shows after framing, but I know that can cost more. 100 would be fine if I can keep the cost down. I probably bought 48 last time.

Thanks,
Mike Jackson
