Has someone come up with a general formula that estimates weight based on
piece count?

My rough estimate is 300 pieces per pound, although this can be adjusted up or
down by 100 pieces depending on the lot.

Any thoughts?

My estimate was very close to yours, but reversed: 3 pounds per 1,000 pieces.
So an eBay lot of 10 pounds should yield about 3,300 pieces. I acquired a 300
pound lot and it came in very near 100,000 pieces (I didn't actually count
them, but the bulk was there).
