You pretty much have to get them from eBay for 60 or 70 dollars. No store within 3-4 hours of me has them in stock and as you said Apple is backordered a month.
It's not as terrible as it seems. I got mine for 60 shipped on eBay (hasn't gotten here yet, should be here tomorrow)...priority mail, no tax. Apple charges like 10 bucks for priority shipping, plus tax, and they ship it from China, mine came from New York. So I basically spent about 17 extra bucks when it was all said and done to get mine in time for my trip to Germany at the beginning of next month.
