It's also ridiculous the markup on fasteners. I used to work in nuts and bolts and the going rate was like 90-97% markup on fasteners.

To be fair, when you absolutely need that one or two special bolts to put your lawnmower back together, the markup isn't a big deal.

Otherwise, I'm buying stuff by the box, and starting to prefer metric more and more.
