Ya know, just to point something out, Cassette tapes cost 50 cents + tax at Goodwill (At least the ones around here do)
Tapes have 5 screws so that comes out to about 10 cents per screw as well (Not counting the tax) |

Not necessarily sir, I understand looking for the best deal, but when you're talking pennies....it's just not always worth the time to look any further.

Unless you want to buy thousands upon thousands of them then there is a problem if there is only one seller. Your needs may be a bit different than mine. If you want to gouge people at a dollar a screw you paid 8 cents for that's your business..... Very amusing however.... to throw cheap out there. Thanks for the laugh.
I was paying 50 cents until I found this thread so perhaps I can lower the price now...but If they are buying for $1 then I am selling for a dollar....it's not cheap....it's not gouging. Especially when you just said....you have to buy thousands at a time to get them for 8 cents each....do you think I sell thousands of these in a year? nope...so it's nice to actually make money when your in business : ) Look...don't want to get in another idiotic pissing match with a grown ass man over some toys... life's too short ya know, so I am happy I made ya laugh my friend, and I'm sorry if "cheap" may have been an inappropriate choice. My appologies.

Be careful with the replacement screws. If they aren't the right ones they may strip the hole or re-thread the hole so original screws no longer work. Also, sometimes the leg screws are different than the back screw.

Apology accepted. What you buy & sell for is your business. I just wanted to know if there are any other options out there. Does GI J H have a monoply? It seems like they are the feeder for all other sellers. Good for them if thats the case. I'm just looking for another way.
Now if they only had T-Hooks.

I wondered why the replacement screws said leg and back screws, becasue the originals are actually two different sizes. I'll try to let you know which ones these are when my order comes in.

if anyone is looking to replace rusty screws it is possible to use naval jelly to completely remove the rust and they are good as new.
just get all the rusty screws together, put them in a small container. fill it with enough naval jelly to submerge them. stir it up with a small brush. let them sit for a few hours. pour them into a wire mesh type strainer and rinse with water and stir with a small brush. beautiful rust free screws!
