Need O-rings for your suppressor?

I chewed up the rear O-ring for my Spectre II, so I decided to get some replacements to cover both that suppressor and my Octane 45.
I found the little pack below, and thought I had it nailed. It contains two size 13 Viton O-rings and two size 18 Viton O-rings, exactly what I wanted. It was $10.00 from Silencer Shop, with free shipping.  I know O-rings are cheap, but I figured that wasn't a bad deal considering I was getting four of them, and it included shipping and eliminated the hassle of me chasing the Viton O-rings at local hardware stores:http://www.silencershop.com/sparrow-o-r ... -pack.html Once I had completed that purchase (of course...), I decided to look around a little on the web. Lo and behold, they also sell these Viton O-rings on Amazon: 5-pack of size 13: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWPNS 5-pack of size 18: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FN0ZDO So here's what I now possess:  From left to right: $10.00 shipped, $0.39 shipped, and $0.63 shipped. Another of life's hard lessons....  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

My guess is they're the exact same O-rings, just different packaging and retail mark up.
