I seem to remember them more in the neighborhood of $50.  Take a look at
the back advertisements in a MacWeek magazine.  A number of places sell
them since a number of Macs and mac accelerators make the FPUs optional.
You should have a choice of speed, too.

e.g., the Chip Merchant (800)426-6375 x 3 (619-268-4774) has 68882-25
and 68882-23 for $28.

You could also probably ask for good sources on the comp.sys.m68k
newsgroup.  ;-)
