While it is possible to find inexpensive laminate at Costco, IKEA,
etc, the accessories such as the Base Board (sometimes called Wall
Base) and 3-in-1 underlayment seem to be unproportionally expensive.
For example, Harmonics laminate for my whole house would cost me less
that the Base Board and 3-in-1 underlayment for the 2nd floor alone.
I assume laminate $1.30/sqft, Base Board $2.50/ft, and 3-in-1
$0.65/sqft.

Painted Base Boards are, of course, cheaper, but they don't look good
either.

Is there a reputable online source where I could buy Base Board and
3-in-1 underlayment at reasonable price ?

For the most part, there is no need to stick with their underlayment
materials, unless it is required for the warrantee. There is no requirement
to use the same brand trim. I buy unfinished generic trim and finish it to
match.
