Boxes of 25.  That's what the per unit price is in boxes of 25.  I'll
keep looking.  BTW, I did find threaded steel rod at the metal salvage
place (probably unfinished) for .20/lb.  That works out to under
$1/rod which is much cheaper.

Anyone have any advice on painting a threaded rod (CHEAPLY!) so that
the paint sticks after a dozen or so runs through it?  I'm looking for
a flat black appearance.
