Homebrew PCBs

low profile ic sockets with small pin spacing like 1,778mm have pins which can be easily extracted and used as vias

$40 PER HOLE would still be cheap :D

However I think those packets that cost
$40 have 20 bails in.  Each bail has 25
rivets.  500 rivets per pack.  So that
is 0.1 dollar a hole.

Not quite so bad.  And I am sure it
saves me 0.1 dollars worth of time over
trying to do anything with poking wires
through holes to make vias.
