This is why I joined this forum. I recently paid $27 at the LBS to replace a rear wheel spoke. I thought that was expensive, but I guess this is not a bad price, especially since I was able to pick it up in an hour or so. I figured I should get the tools, and start doing the job myself. But, now it looks like if breakage continues, I may come out ahead to just have the wheel rebuilt properly and be done with it. Which I probably would not want to do myself.
