Default where to get a few small socket head screws

S&H has one of those nitro-fuelled r/c racing cars which he's
forever tinke^H^H^H^Himproving. He's managed to mash the heads on some of
the original screws and really needs some hex socket cap type (allen
heads) to replace them with. Trouble is they're typically sizes like M3 *
8mm which are about £10 for a box of 100 from places like Farnell, and
he'd need a few different sizes which would end up v.expensive and a lot
of wasted screws left over. Anyone know a source of small quantities at
reasonable prices? (I've tried ebay but couldn't find anything between
bucketfulls of assorted M3s with maybe a few allen heads thrown in, and
anodised alloy smarties at _really_ silly prices.)
