Why people pay 30 quid for 3 screws is beyond me.  Like any hobby, we get ripped off if people dont know any better

Quantity 10  M4 x30mm screws here for 9 quid.

You're welcome 🙂

Your right I've found I can always find what I need from other sources and save money 🤗

Absolutely. All my threaded parts are bought outside of astro retailers.
Right from replacing the SW alt bolts (remember when they used to be made from stale cheese) by decent stuff, to replacing rusty screws by bright and shiny.
Springs and ball bearings on a flextube come to mind for affordable replacements.
Being born in Yorkshire has helped with financial control.

I'm not saying the few bits of bolts sold by astro retailers are a rip off price.
The retailer has to either buy in the small packet of screws at a high price. Or buy a bucketful for a good price and hope he sells enough of them.
He can easily spend the same time sorting out the right screws as advising on a ££££ scope package.

However, we must remember that some people don't know about screw thread sizes and all that. They have to play safe.
