Perhaps it might help in this quest if ...

1. One might state their age.

2. Give price lines for what one expects to pay for these bits.

We have most of these bits in house for our own projects. And paid a dear bit for several of these over the years (patience is a virtue). What are your expectations here.

Just asking ...
