The bargains are old laptop computer battery packs which you disassemble and sort out the best ones.
The guaranteed way to get good 18650s at a fair price is to buy them from here:
http://www.torchythebatteryboy.com/ - lots of forum members use this supplier
Any 18650 with "fire" in it's name is crap and should be avoided.
That's all you need to know about 18650s
