Home Hardware in Elmira has (had?) a big scale with a suspended pan. You could scoop a bunch of bolts, nuts, washers and other assorted hardware bric-a-brac into the pan, then pay by weight. Alas, the store has "modernized" and I haven't seen that scale in years. - --Bob. On 2016-06-19 06:53 PM, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:

I'm jealous. I paid slightly more than a dime each, buying in bulk. Each pack cost 2.97 (+ tax).
Apparently I've never before needed this size of machine screw (otherwise I'd already have them). So the packages will probably be clutter for the rest of my life.
A trip to Bancroft would cost even more. And I'd put it off until July 28th (53rd Rockhound Gemboree). And then I'd come home with rocks that I'd clutter my house with.

(I do recommend the Gemboree although I haven't made it in a couple of decades. I still have rocks from there. The field trips were great.) --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
