Replacement blind plastic breakaway "thingies"?

Options
Hello everybody.

I have 4 x wooden blinds in my home where this plastic breakaway part is either snapped or is very close to snapping. Randomly selected Google image below.

Why are they so expensive to buy??

The cheapest I've found so far is 2 for about £5 on ebay.
So about £10 for me for a few tiny white bits of plastic!

Any advice on where they might be cheaper please?
Am I using the wrong search term for them? "blind breakaway connector".

Many thanking you's!

    Have you tried taking a photo and doing a Google search from that? 

    How many do you need?

    They seem to be marketed as cord condensers or consolidators

    Saw one that was 3 for £6 but given you need 4 thats not going to help much unless you want spares
