Finding Agar Agar

I am looking for agar agar in stores. I used to be able to find some at this one Indian place but they don't have it in stock this week. Surely I could be patient and wait, but I want it now. I have been cold calling Indian and Asian supermarkets with no luck. Can anyone suggest some other places I could look...other than vendors. If I become desperate I will make a trip to Chinatown Toronto for this.
As well, does anyone have a history of issues / pros/cons of using grocery store bought agar agar?

Get it from ebay! Got mine there and was totally satisfied. I know the mechanism of wnating something extremely badly but if you really CAN'T wait, maybe growing mushrooms isn't the right thing for you

If someone does not have what you are looking for, you will not try to find other sources? Sounds like a plan. I have patience for what I can control. For what I can not, I look elsewhere and find a way to get what I need. At the moment, I NEED agar agar. Sure I could wait, but who will be the one to blame when the Indian place forgets to order what you had asked for... But I am happy with your Ebay advice.
Thanks

Ace Hardware. Lowes or Home Depot. Wal-Mart. Walgreens. Asian Grocery Stores.
Between these 5 places, I think you can find just what you need to. Grow mushrooms. Build exploder devices. Make short range missiles. Create hydroponic setups. Build a grow-room.
Then there is always,.. The Internet. DUN Dun dun......

tell you what, order it here and you will never need to buy more. Hell you can search post just like this one and sell your extra agar to people just like yourself. I bet you could even get a good trade rating!!! http://www.bulkfoods.com/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamCat=ALL&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&txtsearchParamTxt=4703
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Awesome, thanks for the advice everyone! Fortunately I've run into a friend who picked some up for me at a vietnemese grocery store.
