Joyce,

You don't say where you live.  I'm on west coast of Canada.   I'm a middleman
(middlewoman sounds strange!).  I collect orders from all sorts of home 
gardeners
and interested grafters and I always have the 500 rootstock minimum.  I buy
rootstocks from the grower, John Traas, who ships all across the country.   
If one
orders fewer than 500 rootstocks there's a 50% surcharge.  The rootstocks 
don't
have to be all the same kind, but the minimum order from Traas is a bundle of 
50
rootstocks all one kind.

The quince, M26, MM106 and M9 (1/4"-5/16" caliper), St Julien A all cost me 
just
less than $1 Cdn including GST.   The P22 and M9 (5/16 and up) cost $1.10.

Anyone buying from me pays $2 including GST a rootstock if they buy fewer 
than 25.

Also on the west coast, if you are a member of the BC Fruit Testers, they buy
rootstocks in bulk and sell them to their members at their AGM.  The price is
usually about $1.75 to $2 including taxes

Hope you live in Canada,

Derry
