I have a small Harbor Freight mill with an R8 spindle. It came with 3 collets (1/8", 3/8" and 1/2") but several times I needed more sizes. Mrs. gave me the green light to get a complete set and I found these on eBay for $58 with free shipping. They were very useful on my latest project, a comparator gage that will be posted in gunsmithing today. They came packaged very nicely in plastic sleeves, sealed plastic bags and coated with rust preventative. They work fine so far.
Now I have collets from 1/8" to 7/8" by sixteenths which should hold me for awhile!
