| | | | (...) So if my math is correct (and it frequently isn't) it is still less expensive to simply scoop 100 loose 2x4's into a cup for $12.95 than it is to pay by weight for the same 100 2x4's. And the same volume presumably only gets heavier when (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

I guess in an ideal world I want to buy small parts by volume and large ones by weight,then. :-) (ideal for us I mean) But if you only get 100 2x4s for 13 USD, that's 13 cents a brick.

If someone can tell me how many 1x1 plates fit in the small and large cups, I would like to (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | | (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
