Looking for 4 x this knob (pic inside)

Hi dudes,

I'm looking fot 4 pieces of this kind of knob. I've seen'em on Mmamoothelectronics, SmalBear and Musikding, but I absolutely refuse to pay 11 euros (the cheaper!) for four fucking knobs.

If anyone is willing to sell me 4 pieces, please, let me know. I prefer to spend my money  with a dude of this forum, than waste it on a supposed  and rip-off  "s&h"

Hope to hear fro anyone of you soon!

Bitsbox in the UK have them for £0.40 (maybe 50 cents?) each and postage is a more reasonable £3 flat rate for orders up to £36 in value.  I'm sure you can find them cheaper with a little digging but I often use Bitsbox for small orders just because their service is so good.  If you want, I'll add some onto my next order and post them out to you.  I'll probably order something before the weekend so you have them by next week.

Thank you Rick, I completely forgot about Bob!

I've done many purchases on his web, will take a look right now!

Thank you guys.

Yeah, Banzai's got these knobs, but the s&h is  crazy (€7). I've just ordered from Bob's store, and added some cap values that I was begining to get short.

Problem solved!

No problem, one of the best things about Bitsbox is the postage charges and fast service.

I guess putting orders together can be a pain in the a**, especially if lots of orders are to be processed, so higher posting charges are a simple sneaky way to either discourage small, two bob orders from being made by customers or at least make them somewhat more worth the effort?

Surely those prices can't be actual reflection of their postage spending...

I think that is clearly a hidden charge. USPS has raised dramatically his rates on 2013, is true that their prices were incredible. Using First Class, my pedals from Prymaxe Vintage had before january a s&h cost of $6 from New Jersey to Madrid, cheaper than spanish mail from Madrid to barcelona for the same pedal.

Now the s&h cost is about $8, still very reasonable. Mammoothelectronics have raised the rates too, but  in stores like Small Bear, this is sheer daylight robbery ($9.50 for two ldr's)
