Hi Jason,

I know one **broken link removed** (but it's from my country, if you're good with importing items) sells em in Ringgit. (1 dollar=3.4 Ringgit approx)
Sorry if it ain't up to your taste.

Cheers.

If you are looking for a motor for a POV you can harvest one out of an old hair blow dryer. They use the heater to drop the voltage to a few volts and then a bridge rectifier to get DC for the motor.

What are you using the motors for?

I use the site linked to by cr0sh above all the time for attaching gears and pulleys to motors: Mechanical Components Timing Belts Pulleys Spur Gears Pulley Couplings Bearings Brakes Gear Clutches Shafts Shaftloc Sprockets Retaining Rings Fairloc ConiDrive Manufacturing
