I buy from a local store. Some Polish brand Topnik :

Store sells it at around $4 for 50ml, cheaper in larger bottles (but i didn't need more)

If this local store stops selling it, I'd probably find it on hotair.pl or other polish stores, or I may just get colophony from dealextreme.com or other sources and mix it with isopropyl alcohol and make cheap flux this way.

If you need flux for BGA or SMD rework then I sugest CS-FLUX. You can order it from ebay here

and there is a video on youtube about it here

It is made in Greece so it should be delivered in EU and USA in less than a week ( I am also in Greece and I receive it next day). I run a laptop repair shop and I have tryed all kinds of flux that I could find. This is the best flux by far for VGA reflow . Since I descovered it I only do reflow on GPUs and I have practicaly 100% success and almost zero returns.
