I'll show you a curmudgeon, I can't believe people are spending money on 
pre-prepared wires for breadboarding at all.  Just take a piece of 
telephone wire and strip them yourself.  The world is already polluted 
enough without economically stimulating factories to make bits of wire 
because you don't want to grab a wire out of the wire bin.

Learn to strip!  You'll spend less time on ebay and more time hacking.

Thanks to Jeff at LVL1 Louisville and Nate at i3 Detroit for pointing
out an even better deal!

$3.99 Shipped! http://item.ebay.com/320561120554

I dunno 'bout you but I _hate_ the pre-bent wires that come with
breadboard kit wire assortments. They get bent, they have to be "dug up"
to be removed, they are restricted to fixed point-to-point lengths, they
come in yucky Starburst candy colors, etc..

These are flexible wire with solid end pins and a short barrel to grip.
Makershed has these for $6.95 (their sale price). BUT Amazon has them
for $5.99 with a LOWER shipping rate.
