The cheapest place is actually at the visitor center unless there are vendors out then they don't compete and you have to buy from a vendor

I also always take more than one since they break so easy. Nothing worse than being stuck at camp because all the flags are toast
I always take one, leave it in the truck, and ride without.. I hate them.
I am pretty good at my "surprised" face.. "Oh, I must have lost it back there somewhere.. I'll go get another from my truck, officer"
State Trailer has them for about $6 last time I was there.

Wow that's a sweet deal! I'll remember that for next time
Hmm I imagine there is a story here that I have forgotten...
A typical flag ticket is $40.. But I don't think that's what you are talking about..

Here's a little trick I do:
1. By new flag.
2. cut it off where the rod goes through the bolt.
3. Drill out the remaining rod (what's left inside the bolt)
4. Push the flag pole into the bolt and out the bottom ~1" (make sure it passes through easily)
5. Apply electrical tape to the rod above and below the bolt. Add enough so that the flag cannot pull out either way.
When you snap the flag off you can simply push it through the bolt again and re-tape. Be sure to keep a roll of tape with you while riding. Works out great
Also the flag mounts that attach to the axle are completely worthless. Get one or make one that attaches to the fender. Kinda hard to see but here's what I'm talking about:

I drilled a 1/4" hole in my plastics, slide the flag thru the hole and clamp with an axle mount. It works like a charm unless I do a front flip down a dune....

and a typical funeral is a lot more than that. because some dude didn't know you were on the other side of a dune, bombs over it, and lands on you.........
I work with a guy who killed someone at the dunes this way. When I worked at the edge one of the lot-techs hospitalized his own friend this way too. And they were riding together and even knew each other was in the vicinity.
this can still happen with a flag too. but why increase your chances of fatality just because you "hate" flags?
that's like "hating" seat belts, or helmets. there is no rational argument to support it
