Any idea where I should look for some nylon cord of decent length and either black or white dyed on the cheap?

Here's an eBay link:

This looks pretty similar to the lacing on my corsets. The material is very important. If they lacing is cotton they will wear out very quickly. The picture on the Timeless Trends website looks like cotton, but you'll better be able to tell after they arrive.

By the way, I can give you some tips on solo lacing if you'd like. There are lots of examples on YouTube but most of them are just wrong or overly difficult. It's actually quite easy to lace yourself *very tightly* in a corset.

Uhm. You realize that ebay auction is for poly cord? Which is more than likely the cord my corsets will be shipping with. (I can't imagine they'd ship with the cheaper replacement option being the "default". Not with their reputation. EDIT: And the one where we can clearly see the lacing is definitely their poly cord. The other one looks likely to be their poly cord as well... The poly cord's black is a deeper black.)
