[edit] Vendors
Konzaar, Broker Of Commodities on Deep Space 9 sells them at 800 , along with other discounted commodities (Self Sealing Stem Bolts, Warp Coils, Seismic Stabilizers and Terraforming Systems. This makes this place the most useful place to purchase the premium commodities used in the reputation system, unless you have access to the Romulan Embassy Discount Commodity Vendor.

[edit] Getting EP for free
Very occasionally, this item will be dropped during space combat, but you typically only get a stack of two. Another free source is the assignment, “Special Deal on Entertainment Provisions”. It's advisable to take this mission whenever you see it, because critical success not only gives you 7 units, but also a special entertainment hologram, which will improve your chance of success with the tricky “Holodeck Performance of Hamlet” assignment.
