Hmm... per piece price on the 2x4 brick and other similar bricks needs
to be somewhat lower than 10 cents a brick. Thanksgiving 1998 got me
zillions of 400 piece buckets for 4 dollars USD each (after using a 1
dollar coupon I had hoarded, applied to a 5 dollar walmart special)...
which yields a per piece price of 1 cent. NOT all of those pieces were
2x4 bricks, some of them were 1x1s and etc, but still. Right now I am
offering, I think, 1.5 cents each for 1x1 bricks in black in bulk.
Now, those are special circumstances, but that bucket is around the 2.5
cents per piece price point even at regular prices.
Jasper's main point in that we need a little direction in how to give
input is as valid as ever, though...
