Can anyone point me to a reputable company who sells Thompson Seedless cuttings, or any other variety that can be used for raisins?
There's no end of companies that will sell the whole grapevine, either in a pot or as a bare root, but I just want to buy the 6" or 8" pencil thick cuttings to root myself.
EBay has a number of sellers asking unrealistic prices, and anything Amazon is automatically blocked from any searches by my ad blocking software because I won't buy from them out of principal.
So can any members point me in the right direction to buy 10 or 20 cuttings?

Various cultivars can be used for raisins.

Rombough Family grape cuttings

Wonderful service, good communication (albeit with a delay).
I have purchased 130 last year and will be purchasing more.

Thanks for the link, but the shipping costs about the same as the price of the cuttings, then they add 4.6% to the bill to cover their PayPal fees.
Thanks anyway but I'll keep on looking.

It"s not.
The shipping cost for the first 20 is $13 and each additional 20 costs $10 to ship, which is $0.50 per cuttiing.

So I am pruning the grapes do you want the pruning's?.   They are the red grapes I sent to Wheaton Lab.  they are mostly seedless but occasional larger berries with seed.   I make rases out of them.  I lost my Tomson seedless when I moved but there  is a limited amount when I prune the one gifted to my friend.  You can PayPal me for the postage and whatever you feel is fair.
 
The barrel was packed to the top with fish. And he was shooting the fish. This tiny ad stopped him:
