Comments.Text: From 2012 to 2015 I bought them in packs off eBay, i.e. auctions with ~100 used tracks. My maximum was always 3.50 € per straight part, 1.00 € for curves, 10.00 € for switches, 20.00 € for crosses. Based on the quality I got it was always worth the money. Cleaned them thru the years throughly, tho.

  Such place indeed exist and it is called [Bricklink](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page), a website dedicated to trading LEGO items. It has extensive history and great catalog of LEGO items found on the internet. Prices and quality are, usually, far better than you would find on eBay. And as an extra bonus, there are sellers from all over the world, so you are not limited to you own region.
  
  As Dan noted in the comments Bricklink catalog contain [all types of 9V train tracks](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=128&catType=P&v=1) you are interested in for sale both in Dark Gray (older) and Dark Bluish Gray (newer) colors.
