You can call Davies in Chicago and find a distributor in your area.

Using a conventional distributor, the 100 piece price is $1.64 If you
purchase 1000 pieces the price goes down to $0.80 They are about $0.60 each
at 10,000 pieces.

Radio Shack is already giving you the 1000 piece price.

Generally, good knobs will cost 1 to 2 times the cost of the pot. I suppose
it is a volume thing again. A single pot may have 100 different knobs
attached by different users. So there is a lower volume in knobs and a
higher price.
