Based on 154 purchases from 5 vendors, trailing 12 months.

How much does 5/16 x 2-1/4 johni quick bolt cost?

Contractors are currently paying $2.87 to $3.01 per ea, with a median of $2.95. That range is the middle half of actual invoiced prices over the last 12 months — the cheapest and most expensive outliers are excluded, because one mis-keyed line item shouldn't define what you think a fair price is.

If you're paying above $3.01 per ea, you're in the top quarter of what other contractors pay for the same item — worth a conversation with your supplier.

What drives the price

Size and material. The single biggest factor, and why we price at this level of detail rather than lumping every bolt together.
Supplier. The same item routinely differs by 15–20% between suppliers in one market. This range spans 5 of them.
Order volume. Counter pickups price differently from a scheduled bulk delivery.
When you bought. Prices drift. This is a trailing 12-month window, so it reflects the current market rather than a historical average.

How we know this

These figures come from real invoices processed through CostCrunch, not list prices or survey data. We normalise each line to a price per unit, exclude the top and bottom 1% as outliers, and a figure is only published once there are at least 10 purchases of that item in the last 12 months. Where a figure rests on a single supplier or a single company we say so, because that is one buyer's experience rather than a market rate — below that, an average says more about one buyer than about the market.

Check your own invoices against these prices — CostCrunch reads every line item and flags anything above market.
