IIRC, UltimateGarage organized a group buy here on Rennlist a while back.
Perhaps contact them and see if they have any inventory?

Sears has something that looks a little more stable with an "integrated" jack

I just like the idea of throwing them under the car and raising from there. I need to measure to see how high my jack points are but still it looks simple. You can get different heights also.

I don't know about those. The base is rather narrow and the lift height is only 4 inches (9 2/5 to 13 2/5)

And why is the flat top jack stand such an elusive beast?

Hey Chuck... this is my thread... don't I get first dibs, especially since I'm local in Philly and can pick them up this weekend. PM sent.

In the fall, when I could not find the flat top stands, I bought 1/4" thick steel 3" diameter steel disks and took the "U" shaped stands to a welder. They cut the "U" off and welded the disk on. They then drilled and tapped the shaft with new disk assembly for a large stainless steel cap bolt. I then took a hockey puck which is exactly 3" and froze it (tip thanks to a R'Lister) and then in a drill press drilled a blind hole. The puck locks to the stand via the cap bolt insertion. What is nice is that I can pull off the puck if necessary and have a steel base.
Very simple- $50 bucks at the welder, a couple of pucks and cap bolts.....
Sorry, no pics- they are packed up.
