I'm surprised I'm the first to mention this...but I've never been charged for ferrules or mouse condoms. Usually, I'm buying cables or housings but occassionally I've walked in and asked for them and they just dump a dozen in my hand (sometimes into a small baggie if they're feeling generous) no charge.
What a cheap skate! It's 20 cents, how can that be a rip off? How much employee time did the whole process take?
On the other hand I've never charged for them but that's because I figure the time it takes to ring up such a small sale costs more than the product.
