Really CHEAP film capacitors ?!?!

Hi guys

I was wondering if any of you have experience with polyesther film capacitors made by a company called Evox-Rifa. I can get some selected values for 4 cents (euro) a piece at a local electronics store , which is actually dirt cheap, I think.
If they are any good, I could get something like 200 of each value (1n, 2n2, 3n3, 6n8, 33n were the ones) and mail them around. Let me know what you think!!

what voltage rating and what tolerance are they? lead spacing might be good to know. I think most of our projects call for 5mm lead spacing. that's a pretty good price though
I got blisters on my fingers!!!

They are 100V and 63V, lead spacing 5mm as used in Madbean's projects, 10% tolerance. A shame they don't offer any more values (well, they do, but not so cheap...). I'm gonna get me some on my lunchbreak monday, it's really close to work.
