I just ordered a 40 pin wide socket from web-tronics for $10.60 quatitiy 1.

A plain 40 pin (.6 center I assume, it actually doesn't say) is even cheaper
$6.25.

I'm not affiliated with them or anything.  I placed the order yesterday, so I
haven't seen anything yet.  Their web site says they ship to Canada using
USPS Global Express to avoid a $40 UPS customs fee.  Minimum order $15 bucks.
