Hmm, even the quite expensive shop "Buerklin" (www.buerklin.com) sells 
these parts for the half of the price:

Rails:
http://www.buerklin.com/gruppen/KapH/H163600.asp?BN=82H350#First
-> Euro 4,80

threaded inserts:
http://www.buerklin.com/gruppen/KapH/H163900.asp?BN=82H460#First
-> Euro 1,94
prices are without german VAT.

Dieter has to put some margin als on these parts, because he has to pay 
the work for ordering, the storage room, and the work for delivering. I 
still don't understand, why you guys don't order this stuff at any shop 
for electronic parts ?! What is all that fuzz around for? I give a bet 
that someone will come in three months and complains, why the single 
rails at Doepfer are that expensive....

Hihihihiii, Dieter should offer only(!) *this* variation. The search for 
the moving nuts in the rail behind the panels would be the correct 
punishment for all, who complain now about prices. (insert a double evil 
grin here)

Please, ask him about an arp-odyssey-style housing for a two octave 
keyboard and above one row (or optional two rows) of modules.
