Okay, I'm a little fed up of paying 1.50$++ for a new bolt/screw/nut/washer for like 4/2 of them!!! is there an easy way to get bolts/screws/nuts/washers for cheap? in masses? of quality? Maybe not super cheap.. but its better than paying 1.50+ for metric sized bolts/screws!

Just have a look under your GS. There should be an assortment there that have vibrated loose.

There are many places to buy fasteners.
For box quantities there's http://www.mscdirect.com or http://www.mcmaster.com
for smaller quantities there's http://www.boltdepot.com/
I've gotten good service from each of these vendors.

Do you not have a decent hardware or screw supply store in your area? There is one place around here where you can go browse their extensive metric selection. Another where you can go up to the counter and tell them exactly what you need and they go get it for you.

I've ordered bolts from Mcmaster carr. There's a sears hardware(slightly different from the normal sears in the mall) that has a good selection of stainless/metric stuff, but they still aren't really cheap, I'm just happy to not have to order them off the internet. Someday when I have some cash I feel like spending I'm just gonna order a couple stainless metric bolts in every size so they're there when I need them.

There are some good deals. Seems prices for a good box-o-bolts has gone up from what it was a year ago. I've bought a few to stock my bins with extras of every screw and nut in a bike. Still - I have noticed a few parts that never show up in the box-o-bolts. I discover this as I look for a part to assemble Phenix.

There are still good deals. Study the photos. Check the price and factor in the shipping or if shipping is free.
