Source for inexpensive Plossls

Our school has 4 Newtonians and 1 old Meade 8" 2080 SCT. I think we have a total of 3 or 4 eyepeices among them! I'm putting together a grant proposal for more eyepeices. Does anyone have a recommendation of what focal lengths to get and an inexpensive source for them? Thanks a million!

Please give some details about the Newtonian telescopes: aperture and focal length.

For the 8" Meade, I'd suggest 32mm, 20mm and 10-13mm Plossls. That will give 63x, 100x and 150-200x in that scope.

When you've decided what you want, a "Wanted" classified here will likely get you several offers.
