I built a lot of steampunk/Victorian era "things." Many times re-purposing modern objects often times replacing modern nuts, bolts, and screws with brass equivalents. Usually on the smaller size, like 6-32. 8-32, acorn nuts, slotted wood screws, etc... Problem is, and a hardware store, even a Big Box one like Home Depot, the quantity is in 2-4, and the cost adds up very quickly.
Any online source were I can buy in 50-100+ and not have it cost an arm and a leg?
