Probably better to buy screws by the hundred box as you need them.
You can also get huge quantities of screws at tag and garage sales.
Estate tag sales are the best as you're in the guy's basement and
they're looking to clear out everything and the screws _never_ sell.
The people running the tag sale would be thrilled for you to do the
work getting them out of the house for them. The fasteners are often
already in some homemade storage rack to simplify things on your end.



That's a terrific idea.


My luck has always been all that's there is the myriad of coffee cans
full of miscellaneous stuff all throwed together--or, the organized set
that sells for more than it would new...
