[Rule-list] Cheap RH7.2 CDs bought online?

I was just thinking when I read Gordo's post about not have RH7.2 CDs and
being on dial-up.  Anyone know of a cheap place to order the two RH7.2
install disks?  That way someone in the middle of nowhere with dial-up could
download the 2-3 boot disks and order the CDs online.  I'm not asking anyone
to volunteer, but looking for an already established cheap route to do this.

Back in my RH5.x days I used to order from a place called Cheapbytes.com.  
I've emailed them about RH, as they seem to have all other distros, except
RH.  They do have a "CheapBytes Linux x86 CPU Version 7.2 Install CDs,"  
which I think is really just RH under their name (not sure why they'd do
that).  Like I said, I've emailed them asking about this.  Either way,
they've increased their S&H a bit (US$5), to the point that it's more
expensive than the CDs (US$3.99).

So, anyone know of a cheaper route to get the two RH7.2 installs CDs than 
~US$8.99 (+7.75% tax for us CA folks)?

Heck, if I didn't mind the hassle, I'd offer to sell them myself for just
the cost of the blanks and true shipping costs (my new house is less than 3
blocks from my local Post Office).  Unfortunately I don't have a way to
automate burning more than 1 CD at a time (I recall seeing at my local
Modesto City Schools IT office a device that would burn 12 CDs at once off
of an original), plus I do mind the hassle of dealing with the USPS and
don't want to set up my own online store either ;-p
