better keep the total below $30. $6 is reasonable sh, but almost $10 for total over $30 is a bit steep. especially if you order more than $30 in screws and stock which can be done rather easily. i spent over $20 at my lhs just on brass stock. i don't think i'll be going back. Convenience has it's price i guess.
personaly, i get frustrated by sites without pictures. i like to be able to see what i intend to buy, even if it is just a drawing like on hobyplace. i find it much more helpful than just an inventory spreadsheet. especialy for those like myself who, if not for this project, would not know the difference between a fillister head and a hex head screw.
hobbyplace does have a good selection of brass stock as well, tubes, rods, angles, strips and sheets. a limited selection of aluminum.
