With shipping these come out to about $0.65 cents each (shipping estimate for me was about $15).
You can get 100 of these off the Wholesale site for about $0.57 cents each including taxes and shipping

As long as they guarantee they're Lelands and not Rap's or Crossman's, that's pretty good.
I found out they allow wholesale purchases direct:

DIY 12g dummy changer:
Parts list(in order from to to bottom not counting teflon tape):
1/4 barb x 1/8 female
1/8 x 1 1/2 brass nipple
1/8 brass coupler
1/8 x 2 1/2 brass nipple
Stock ion duckbill
Teflon tape
Kenny, I've been making pretty much the exact same adapter for various guns for the last 15 years or so.
The particular barb fittings I used are listed at 800psi at the hardware store.
At McMaster, they show 2 grades- the 150psi grade, and the 750psi grade. Thats a pretty big difference!
So to state the obvious, this adapter is a very old school trick, BUT ALWAYS CHECK THE PSI RATING. Just because its brass does not mean its automatically rated for 5000psi Its still safer then drilling/tapping empty 12grams... *shutter*.

Tips to make the old Brass Eagle style changers work better:
CCI is a better changer but these work fine and you can modify them to work better/faster.
two methods can be used,
If you have access to a lathe you can knock the first couple of threads off of the bucket to shorten the screw in distance.
if you don't have a lathe you can put a couple of pennies in the bottom of the bucket and secure them with some sort of tape around the penny so it wedges in there. This will raise the 12 gram and once again shorten the distance to pierce it.
