The only reason I don't shop bolts

at speciality shops any more is that I'm lazy. It's cost me a couple of times but in the big picture, it's not worth the head ache for such small quantities that I buy now. If I had a special project like replacing all the bolts on all of my cleats or something similar then it would make sense and the effort would be worth it. For a couple of nuts once in a while, it's just not worth it to me. Now, if I lost one of the bolts I use for the shaft flange then that would be a different story. It's cost versus effort versus risk.
