DMC threads: best place to buy?

Based on a recent thread, I suppose I should stick to brand name threads. Where do you all usually go to buy your DMC threads? I know Walmart sells them at 30 cents per skein (bundle? sorry, I'm new with the terminology). I've also seen them sell for bulk on Ebay, but I'm not sure if I'll be getting the authentic product.

Thanks for all the advice! Since I'm starting my collection from scratch, I guess the initial $$ investment will be rather large. I'll look around to find the best way to organize my threads.
