What is the lowest price per piece you've ever found?

[ks6349]

Regardless of any theme, what was the lowest price per piece you've ever got or found in the market and what was the set number? I don't mean the price from kinds of deals or sales that may last only a few hours or a lot of people fighting or queuing up for many hours to purchase one or two item , but kind of deals that should last at least a few days and the supply is not too tight.

approx. USD $0.049 per piece is the lowest price I saw a set

I think the best buy I ever came across was at a toy store chain called KB Toys (long gone out of business now).  They routinely sold recently retired and generally unpopular Lego sets at a steep discount (they also jacked up the price on new and popular sets so they'd offset a bargain on a Prince of Persia kit by ripping you off with the latest Star Wars release if you weren't paying attention).  One day I noticed they had a dust covered stack of Master Yoda sculptures ( #7194) that someone must have just stumbled over in a back room somewhere.  They tagged them for ten bucks a kit, which worked out to just under a penny a piece (USD) with loads of sand green and tan parts (that were kinda hard to come by in quantity in those days)

I bought the whole stack, but if I hadn't, I think this would have met your criteria for being a "real" sale as they were tagged items (about a dozen or so) just sitting on a shelf (and from the layer of dust, they'd spent a _lot_ of time on a shelf somewhere before I found them), no special signage or "limited time only" sort of pricing - just a pathetic little whimper of "please take these off our hands so we'll have room for kits people actually want."

I part'ed them out years ago which, in hindsight is a bit of a pity; I seem to recall someone on Amazon asking 6 or 7 hundred bucks for this same set not that long ago.  Funny how things change with age.

In a sale in our local supermarket, for 30CHF (=30.50 USD) i picked up the Nexo Knights Fortrex, with 1115 parts.

this works out at 0.027 per part.  They regularly have sales like this and I’ve picked up $30 duplo sets for 5CHF too.

EDIT.

Just remembered that I picked up the technic Bucket wheeled Excavator in the sale sale, for 80CHF.  That works to be 0.020 per part.

2 cents per piece, but it is rare. The Chess Set on sale was the best deal (which was on sale for a while, plenty of time, there was a stack of them in the store) and a few other sets that were on sale around 3 cents per piece from the Shop @ Home site.

In the UK we regularly used to get free poly bags with newspapers. So zero. Or if you want to include the newspaper cost, about half a penny, considering you could often get two lots per newspaper.

For sets in sales, I've had many at a penny a part of so.

Costco (US) currently has a creative 1500pcs brick set for $39.99, that comes out to $0.027 ppcs. Probably the cheapest non-sale price I've ever seen.

I don't think it's sold online (by Costco) but I could be wrong. Costco is a membership required warehouse store. You'd need to have a member buy it for you or pay the 55$ fee yourself to join.
For what use it is to anyone, I saw the box (10717) at the Costco at Tehama Ridge in North Fort Worth, TX.
Lego Store MSRP is 59.99 according to google.
