Default Glass Runners

I have just started to make my viv stack, there will be 8 vivs in all so as you can imagine I want to try and keep the costs down where possible. One of the biggest expenses seem to be the glass runners. They are neary £10 a pair n B&Q and they are all the same size (rather than top and bottom) on ebay they are around £7-£8 per viv. I have asked in my local small DIY store and they dont do any. Ive also had a peek on google but had no joy. Does any one have any other ideas??
