Default Stores that sell omnidirectional antennas?

I'm looking for a local store that sells a omnidirectional antenna (preferably ~7dbi) that can connect to my PCI wireless card on my computer. Does anyone know if any of the popular stores sell them? Where I should look? Hoping to find one at a reasonable price ($30 or less). Reason I'm asking about a store and not the internet is because I would rather have it now then later.

If you live in NZ, try Dick Smith Electronics catalogue number XH8136. You will be very hard pressed to find a 7dBi antenna under $50 RP.

If you live in a different country hopefully someone else can help.

Sweet, how much did it cost? Just so I can compare with prices over this side of the planet!
