If you find a good deal on unflared tubes, it's easy to flare them
yourself with a propane torch on the lathe.

Drill a hole for a slightly loose fit for the tubes in a scrap piece of
wood held in a chuck on the lathe. The fit should hold the tube without
wobbling, but to be able to remove and insert a tube while the lathe is
running.
Insert the tube in the spinning hole, play the torch on the end for the
desired flare, then with a gloved hand remove it and put in another one.

I did a box of 100 in about 40 minutes.
