Keep an eye out on Ebay for some. I just sold 10 BD ovals there last week for $28 which included shipping.

Well, I might not be the most experienced climber - thinking of gear and ecuipment; but I've always been told to not buy or use used gear that I don't know how is been treaten.
Slacklinexpress.com got som pretty cheap and good screwlock carabiners.. they are like $5.60 each..

What a helpful comment! And if you don't know already, there is no need for lockers on your rig.
+1 for Ebay there are always loads of used ovals. or this...

It's not as steady as Ebay but sometimes it works...

Sorry for trying to help... And, oh the reply wasn't ment for you, sorry...
I don't know if you've seen pictures of carabiners getting twisted from slackline-use, but there are some in this forum actually. The safest thing is to go for a twistlock carabiner..
Again they are not that much more than a regular oval carabiner http://www.slacklineexpress.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=94&osCsid=06d6a4bab621e01a3be3ff012baadace
