Agree. My LBS cuts all spokes to length and rolls threads on so they don't need such a big inventory of varying spoke lengths. He charges 50 cents per replacement spoke, which includes measuring the old one, cutting the new one to length, and rolling the threads. So I'd think the charge to just roll threads on your old pre-cut spokes would be pretty small.
But I agree with the previous posters on the risks associated with radial spoking and the reuse of spokes in a new pattern.
