Also check surplus houses.  For example, Skycraft in Orlando FL 
(www.skycraftsurplus.com) lists a 1000' spool of teflon covered 
#22 for $20.00.  Last time I was in the store they also had 500' 
spools of bare #16 stranded copper (braided) and PVC insulated #18 
(if I recall correctly) for < $20 per roll.
