Unless things have changed since I last dealt with Glacier Vandervell
(and they may well have), this is the minimum *economic* batch size.
Vandervell will make you any quantity you like, but will charge through
the nose. If, for example, you want a one-off of a particular DU bush,
expect to pay anything from #1000 (USD1430) for it. If, however, you
and a crowd of friends can make up an order for, say, 50, the total
price will be the same, and the unit price therefore greatly reduced.
It will still be "far too much" for what it is, but if you can't get
hold of them any other way...
