Walmart has a pretty good selection, reasonably price at $5-$10 each.
Some disassembly required :-)

The problem with this type of part is that its made by the millions, but
only sold by the millions.  Further they are not designed for easy
prototyping, so selling them one at a time makes little sense.  Are the
small ones sold by digikey (with through hole pin mounting) too big?

I wonder if they still use zebra strips to make the contact between the
circuit board and the display, it's been years since I took one apart...
