Here’s a huge lot of parts (about 13.8 pounds) that may be worth keeping an eye on! Bidding starts at $150.00 USD, although the seller is taking offers. I see some other 1 Lb. listings going for about 20 bucks on the low end before shipping from other sellers. With that in mind I’d guess this lot is worth around 270 bucks, and shipping would cost me 30 dollars. If you could get this lot for 300 or less shipped, I’d say you got a decent deal. At the very least, it saves you about 100 bucks on shipping compared to ordering that many parts from different sellers.

If you don’t need as many parts:

Here’s a listing for 20.00 a pound and about 8.95 shipping, which is lower than I usually see a pound of parts going for. I assume you will get parts from the pile shown, although some sellers recycle old images.

This seller is relatively more expensive at 24.95 a pound and about 10.70 for shipping. They specifically say that the random parts will come from the pile in the pictures. Of course it’s no guarantee what you will actually get, but it might give you a better idea of what to expect.
