yeah, but I got more than two dozen with my W&W..
so far I have used one, I have given two to a collection/museum in Washington, and am about to give two more to a lady from the W&W group who has had a machine for a while with no needles.
I figure they are worth more to me as sources of good karma than as sale items. but yea, at 25-30 ea x 20+ needles would fund a machine or two....
