Thanks, nice idea but I think that there may be a big difference between "over there and over here", but I'll ask around!
Having seen the difference in hardware stores between the USA and the UK I would tend to agree with wristpin's comment, our old style hardware stores have all but disappeared to replaced by fast food outlets in many cases. The DIY /big box stores are quite good at what they do but I strongly suspect that the response to the question would be met with a blank expression followed by the comment 'if it isn't on the shelf we don't stock it'.
