You might have better luck if you post this in the Garage Sale section. Good luck with your shopping!

Also check:

Cosmetics ailse at Pharmacy ... tweezers with various tips on them.

Craft store, check the clay ailse. Wax sculpting or clay sculpting tools work great as long as they are all metal.

And if you are friendly with your dentist ... inquiry about used dental tools. I just got a whole set for free that they weren't using anymore and going to throw out.

(you can never have too many tools and you'll be surprised what ones become your favorites).

P.S. Yard sales can be good too if you are so inclined to do that kind of thing.

Fanny, in my travels today through Lampworketc, I saw where someone had taken 2 iced tea spoons and braded them together to form a press. Quite neat!
