I should have been more clear. I have a bunch on order for about $.50 apiece right now, but I had seen them going for as much as $6 apiece on eBay, etc. when I was doing research before. Here is one now going for $17: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/371096597246?lpid=82 (Edit: opps, sorry, quantity 10)

But HERE is one for $7.65:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/400770682701?lpid=82

But many are also priced at $1.75,

The one I have I got from smallbear a while back as part of a kit so it was not individually priced. I did not pay $6 for one.  

I also asked here about 2n5458s - whether they are the same or similar - never got an answer. I saw them for sale and when I looked up the product sheet it said "replacement for 2n5457". On the Jfet comparison chart they look very similar, just a slightly higher forward voltage.
