@Myphatself Not even close. I paid £8 for this box. No traditional hardware store in their right mind would sell a 4mm long M1.7 bolt for £4.
Of course, they wouldn't be the same price per bolt compared to this box, so am I getting "more" for my money? Yes. But how much of this am I ever going to use? How much of it is just waste? And how much is the expertise/advice of the shop keeper worth?
The hyperfixation on "lower prices" - even when they're not lower in real terms - is ruining us.
