when did pick guard screws on amazon get so cheap?

[Jimbilly]

and other 'small bulk' fasteners too: I was looking for some small brass screws for a saxaphone, nothing at the local hardware store, found a 3 pack on ebay for $15, then 20 for $12, then on Amazon a pack of 150 for $3.99!  I guessed (correctly) that they would fit, M3 5mm for yamaha sax screws btw.

  I rabbit trailed to guitar fasteners, some of the 'variety packs' for $15-20 look like they include those difficult to find thin screws used on Hamers for the control cavity covers.

 I ordered these, since I'm nearly out of the 100pack I bought quite a few years ago, this seems too cheap to be true

Good to know. Thanks.

I need pickup screws and springs for Strat pickups. I'll have a look.

I was going to check the next time I was in Lowe's.

[rant] Where, by the way, are all the pickup screws and adjustment springs? It seems every time I buy a set of used pickups the seller doesn't include the screws or springs. All these pickups wandering around with no fasteners. It's probably one guy, a hoarder, worried he'll run out of pickup screws and springs. Probably has an entire chest of drawers full of pickups screws and springs next to the last fifty years of newspapers and empty toilet paper rolls... [/rant]
