At $8.99/box of 50 tenons, reminds me of the razor blade pricing game.

Wonder what kind of a price they would offer for an order of 500 pcs?

I don't think that .18 cents a piece is that bad.
What about cutting your own, just thickness on the bandsaw or tablesaw,
rip to width, route roundover then cut to length... certainly you can
make a few hundred in an hour. If you do it right.
