That would surprise me. I have not found the 8/32s that Paul uses in
phillips head. However, they are common in hex or cap heads. Many stores
have those in 4/40, 6/32, 8/32, and 10/32. I have usually found them to be
around 49 cents each in singles.

That would be about the going hardware rate for one-offs. Hopefully Paul
is getting a better unit price by buying in quantity so he can make a
little money on them.
