The average diyer might only use one or two sizes and in limited quantity but for 10 green queens it's not a bank breaker!
i actually have over 100 boxes /sizes
with gold ==turbo gold==twins==japblack==slotted brass ==domed brass and a few other specialist types

Agree totally!
When I read the OP I wanted to go and buy them straight off - but after 1 seconds pause realised I don't actually have a need for them right now! It's this kind of hoarding attitude that's got my workshop stuffed to the rafters with 'crap' (as the missus calls it) that 'has a purpose but I can't think what that purpose is right now'.....
It's £10 saved.... for the moment.
But you can almost guarantee that when I DO need them they'll be double the price!!!

yes i love a bargain
i used to use a fair amount off no6x1/2" screws screwfix used to do 500 boxes off about 12 popular sizes pay for 400 get 500 i bought a box off 500 was going through it well as you do
then they stopped doing them and sold them off about half price so buy 200 get 500 any way got 2 off every size to stock up
all sizes i am more than half way through the second box except 6x1/2 where i had about 1200-1300 screws and over the last perhaps 5 or 6 years i have used about 20 as the use off 12mm ply and brackets has stopped
the only good thing is the boxes are actually very small and the space in each was enough to cram in the extra 100 or so in each box with a few extra in the organizer boxes
