friday's challenge - find me cheap flapwheels

you know, those cylinders made from sheets of sand paper, like this:


looking for small ones, 25 - 30 mm diameter.

there is a few on ebay but postage is stupid so maybe you know somewhere cheaper?

NOTE - do not confuse with buffing wheels that are made from abrasive sponge as opposed to sanding paper.
