Well, Farnell states "Life (min)  25.000 cycles" for a
ZIF, 40 way, 0.3 - 0.6 ZIP socket (ARIES).
It's about 19 USD when bying 1-10.

Then there is som 3M ZIF's at about 30 USD a piece,
but with no specified min cycles, and also a "economy"
socket for about 15 USD also with no specified min
cycles.
