Not me! I'd go nutz counting that many plates(or blocks)!
But as Chris suggested, the smaller the part the better deal the volume theory
becomes.
I have a cup full of 1x4 plates that is heavier than a cup of 2x4's.
I also have cup almost full of 1x1 tiles that is far heavier than any other cup
I have filled!
Actually, I'd like to see someone prove the volume over weight theory wrong.
Even without stacking it appears that at the very worst it would be about even.
You simply cannot improve the cost per piece when purchasing by weight.
(or via S@H prices)
By volume you can, most times significantly!
If you figure time in, you must also consider the increased volume of your
spoils by stacking.
As I stated earlier, it figures out to about $26.00 more 2x4 brick per hour.
I will gladly pack your PAB cups for half that amount.
Could you imagine getting paid $13.00 per hour to stack Lego?
OK, not enough, how about $26.00 per hour???
(that's appears to be the difference in some situations)

| (...) Chris Yes it is, it works out to about $0.14 per 2x4, same as S@H. Weight does work better and better then S@H retail, the smaller the piece is.
