As for getting aas needles from the exchange. The one I went to and plan on going back to handed me 30 1" 25g no questions asked. Of course I brought some to dispose of. Dude, they would have given me 50 of them without batting an eye. I asked for 20 and they gave me 30 and said I could have more. I assume they are given a set amount and have x amount to give away so might as well give it away.
