Where Can You Buy Jumpers?

tekrat asks: "Here is a wacky question, and one I'm sure has frustrated millions of us hardware geeks. While we're moving towards jumperless motherboards, a good deal of them still require that we fiddle with jumpers to change things or when we upgrade. Or perhaps we're adding an internal SCSI drive and need to set it to a particular ID. Nevertheless, through the years, those little jumpers have come in a variety of sizes, all of them microscopic enough to easily get lost on the living room carpet. Without scavenging existing hardware, where does one go to obtain jumpers? I haven't been able to find anyone who sells them, and that makes me curious as to who even makes them for the motherboard or drive manufacturers. If anybody knows who sells a package of various-sized jumpers in a pack of 100 or 1000, please point 'em out and you will have my eternal gratitude."
