Anyone like to sell me 10 railroad spikes? Ebay sellers have them in lots of 250 for $15, Stew-Mac has 15 for $5, but want additional $13 to ship! It shouldn't be this complicated....
Thx!

Banjo Ben has a pack of 12 for less than 6 bucks, but I’m not sure what shipping will be ? Shipping is through the roof on everything these days. Best of luck

Search EBay for HO train spikes. You can get 100 for around $10

Did you notice the picture with that ad?
It says 'N Scale Track Spikes'
These will be too small, even for a mandolin banjo....
You'll need hO Scale 
But beware, the hO scale ones from model power (nr. 245), are not with the tiny hooks heads, but round, flat head spikes, so useless for our goal....

I got 100 railroad spikes about 40 years ago at a local hobby store that sold electric trains.
I think I paid something like $12 dollars for all of them.

I sell packs of 10 railroad spikes for $1. But the way my website is set up I have flat rate shipping and it makes no sense to spend $7 to $9 in postage for a $1 order.
Send me a direct message and I'll share my work-around for the high postage to merchandise cost ratio.
