I found my seeds at Kitazawa Seeds based in Oakland, CA. Easy to find on the net. They also sell their seeds at select nurseries (email them, they are quick to respond) and at some Asian supermarkets.
They do not say so on their website, but if you ask, they can send via envelope instead of bubble-wrap/box whatever it is that entails the $4 or $5 postage, if you are only ordering a few packets. I was told it would only cost $2 that way (but I am in the same state). I didn't have to have any shipping costs as I found them in my local Asian market, after talking to the purchaser there who was going to order more seeds, to order them for me.
I have never saved eggplant seeds, only tomatoes, but if this is not a hybrid, and you give me pointers on how to save seeds, I could try to save so I could share next year. That is, if I get enough fruits. Right now I only see two small ones, and the flea beetles are killing me!
