I pay $83 for a 160 liters, as with most small quantities, they charge you
for all even if you use less than a full load. Dewar rental is on top of
that, but highly dependant on how long you have the dewar.

Checking my receipts, in 2007 I paid $107 for 160 liters and in 2013, it
was $203. I suspect the price varies a lot depending on how much you buy.
I hadn't ordered any recently in 2013 so maybe that's why it was higher.

I just got a quote the other day actually. It was about $300. One way you
might be able to get a small amount of LOX (If you already have a dewar) is
asking a local welding or srcap metal shop. They may keep LOX for welding
and and may be able give or sell you a small amount. Also if you know some
chemistry professors at a local college, sometimes they will keep LOX for
stuff.
One option to liquefy LOX from n GOX bottle though a heat exchanger in
LN2. If you have a small dewar they will fill it for you at a welding gas
supply place. (they
fill a customer's dewar with LOX because of safety concerns but LN2 is ok)
