Computer hard drives contain rare earth magnets, I always scavenge old ones. Otherwise like Stinky says, good company if rather expensive. IE the magnetic tool bars are cheaper at Carbatec and the other usual suspects than at Oz Magnets.

We have them. Although they are not on our web site you can call and we will post them out. We have - 3,4,5,6 and 20mm magnets. They are super strong! and are $0.65, $0.70, $0.75, $0.79, $3.00. (i'm not sure that we are allowed to post the 20mm one they are too strong, might attach to another parcel! and end up in spain? but we can via TNT)

I got a bunch on ebay last year, great price and quality. I just checked-there are a lot of them listed at the moment.

Another source of neomydium (rare earth) magnets, a guy called FrenergyMagnets on Oz Ebay.

Prices are substantially better than the other sources.

I bought two lots yesterday, so we'll see how the service and quality is, when and if, they arrive
