I cut the cords for my computer boot too short and apparently 1/8" bungee cord is hard to come by.
I checked the usual suspects, Place Maker, Para Rubber, and the like but they only have what looks like bungee rope.
Is there a place that stocks thinner 3mm bungee cord?
I wouldn't mind buying in bulk if the price is good. :)

Also Chains Ropes and Anchors has some.
You can get 4mm by the metre, or 3mm in 50 or 100m rolls ($41 and $81 respectively)
http://www.chainsropesandanchors.co.nz/shop/rope-c-37.html

I've bought online, but they might have a brick and mortar shop in Glenfield.

I went to Chains Ropes and Anchors today and found 3mm bungee for $0.66 plus gst per meter. Not a bad price and I had fun browsing the shop. :)
