Depends on the spoke, of course. DT Champion 3.60 euro (all prices without
nipples) silver, 7.40 black, Comp 4.40/7.80, Rev, silver only, 7.20,
Alpine III, silver only, 5.80. A set of 40 regular brass 12 mm DT nipples
is 1.60, 2 for the 14 and 16s. Alu and pro lock nipples significantly
more.
So Champs at 2x3.60+1.60 per wheel is E8.80 per set of 40, Black comps
with pro lock nipples 7.80*2+6.40=22 euros. Plus of course 6 euros
international shipping from germany to the netherlands.
They're not an LBS (although they do actually sell single spokes, at about
120% or so of the cost per 20 -- by the time you hit 36 spoke wheels, the
boxes of 20 are cheaper), but they're not bad either.
