Mark, first let me say a big huge [THANKS]! You seriously [-ROCK-]!
i did some calculations.
using this conversion table:
http://www.engnetglobal.com/tips/convert.asp?catid=3
and this weight table:
http://news.lugnet.com/market/shipping/?n=542
I found this:
Brick 1x4 = 1.56g = .004 lb
this would mean that a .25 lb bag would have something like ~63 pieces for 6.99,
as compared to S@H 50 pieces for 5.99.
$7/65p = $.108 per piece
$6/50p = $.12 per piece
which means the pick-a-brick prices are better than S@H, but doesn't include the
trouble of finding someone to go there and get them.
for the 1x1 brick, it follows:
.435g = .0012 lb
208 pieces @ $7 = $.033 price per piece

| I have found similar weight results. I recently got a bulk order which included packs of 2X4 bricks (in a bag of 50). I took a bag to the post office and weighed it. The bag was 3.50 ounces (just shy of a 4-ounce/quarter pound), which makes the (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.legoland.california, FTX)
