Good price for buying bricks in bulk?

My wife and I have been putting all of our sets together lately and building a giant 5x10 foot city display. We still have about 6 sets or so to put together and then we are going to be building our own creations to fill in the gaps. I have been looking on eBay for bulk Lego listings. It looks like they are usually around $10/pound. It seems a bit expensive. Does anyone know what is a good per pound price for bulk Lego pieces? Also does anyone know a good place to download instructions for custom buildings like the following ones? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Corner-Cafe-Building-Instruction-10185-10182-10185-10197-10211-10218-10232-/251231411526?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7e8f1d46 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Police-Station-Building-Instruction-10185-10182-10185-10197-10211-10218-10232-/251231412786?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7e8f2232 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hardware-Store-Building-Instruction-10185-10182-10185-10197-10211-10218-10232-/251231413546?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7e8f252a http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spanish-Grocer-Building-Instruction-10185-10182-10185-10197-10211-10218-10232-/251233271155?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7eab7d73 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Spanish-Corner-Cafe-2-Building-Instructions-10185-10182-10185-10211-10232-/251233640330?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7eb11f8a http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-City-Hall-Building-Instructions-10185-10182-10185-10197-10211-10218-10232-/251233639557?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3a7eb11c85 http://www.ebay.com/itm/CD-Custom-City-Center-I-Skyscraper-Instructions-Lego-cafe-corner-style-10232-/130861104394?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item1e77edfd0a
