[Towertalk] Buying nuts and bolts - Rationalized gouging

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

On small-quantity oddball hardware, why should they think you're going to
do repeat business?

Also, I paid $8/bolt for some stainless steel hardware. The way I figured
it, how many do I need to buy in a lifetime? 4 now and 4 more later? How
cheap do I have to be to be a ham?

What does this have to do with towers?
