One thing I have done in the past, when I needed just a few MAC
addresses, was to go to a computer disposal or recycling store and buy
a box of old (generally ISA bus) Ethernet controllers. Cost about $1
each. Every one has a serial eeprom containing a MAC address.
Sometimes it's simply written on the board, other times you need to
power the board up, and at worst you need to desolder the eeprom chip
and read it in a programmer. Then destroy the boards, so the addresses
you got will be guaranteed to be unique. A cheap solution for a few
addresses.
Of course, if you need lots of addresses then the IEEE pricing won't
worry you...
