Oh I thought you were referring to components for assembling the board, not the component the boards are meant to replace. You can search Aliexpress for DS12887 too, I remember seeing some at about $3 per piece in lots of 5-10. The one thing about them though is you can't be sure how long they have been in storage and if the embedded battery is any good anymore.

It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
