The 500 set is 23.6 cm3 of magnets whereas the 259 pieces is only 16.72 cm3. I had Claude.ai do the math for me.

To determine which deal offers better value, we can compare the total volume of the magnets in each set. This will give us a rough estimate of the amount of magnetic material you're getting. Here's the volume of each magnet, calculated as π×r2×h\pi \times r^2 \times h, where rr is the radius and hh is the height:
259-piece Set


100 pcs 3x1mm: π×(1.52)×1×100=706.86 mm3\pi \times (1.5^2) \times 1 \times 100 = 706.86 \, \text{mm}^3
54 pcs 5x1mm: π×(2.52)×1×54=1,062.52 mm3\pi \times (2.5^2) \times 1 \times 54 = 1,062.52 \, \text{mm}^3
40 pcs 6x2mm: π×(32)×2×40=2,261.95 mm3\pi \times (3^2) \times 2 \times 40 = 2,261.95 \, \text{mm}^3
30 pcs 8x2mm: π×(42)×2×30=3,015.93 mm3\pi \times (4^2) \times 2 \times 30 = 3,015.93 \, \text{mm}^3
20 pcs 10x2mm: π×(52)×2×20=3,141.59 mm3\pi \times (5^2) \times 2 \times 20 = 3,141.59 \, \text{mm}^3
10 pcs 12x3mm: π×(62)×3×10=3,393.80 mm3\pi \times (6^2) \times 3 \times 10 = 3,393.80 \, \text{mm}^3
5 pcs 20x2mm: π×(102)×2×5=3,141.59 mm3\pi \times (10^2) \times 2 \times 5 = 3,141.59 \, \text{mm}^3
Total Volume for 259-piece Set:

706.86+1,062.52+2,261.95+3,015.93+3,141.59+3,393.80+3,141.59=16,724.24 mm3706.86 + 1,062.52 + 2,261.95 + 3,015.93 + 3,141.59 + 3,393.80 + 3,141.59 = 16,724.24 \, \text{mm}^3
500-piece Set


100 pcs 8x2mm: π×(42)×2×100=10,053.10 mm3\pi \times (4^2) \times 2 \times 100 = 10,053.10 \, \text{mm}^3
100 pcs 6x2mm: π×(32)×2×100=5,654.87 mm3\pi \times (3^2) \times 2 \times 100 = 5,654.87 \, \text{mm}^3
100 pcs 5x2mm: π×(2.52)×2×100=3,926.99 mm3\pi \times (2.5^2) \times 2 \times 100 = 3,926.99 \, \text{mm}^3
100 pcs 4x2mm: π×(22)×2×100=2,513.27 mm3\pi \times (2^2) \times 2 \times 100 = 2,513.27 \, \text{mm}^3
100 pcs 3x2mm: π×(1.52)×2×100=1,413.72 mm3\pi \times (1.5^2) \times 2 \times 100 = 1,413.72 \, \text{mm}^3
Total Volume for 500-piece Set:

10,053.10+5,654.87+3,926.99+2,513.27+1,413.72=23,561.95 mm310,053.10 + 5,654.87 + 3,926.99 + 2,513.27 + 1,413.72 = 23,561.95 \, \text{mm}^3
Conclusion

The 500-piece set provides a greater total volume of magnetic material (23,561.95 mm³) compared to the 259-piece set (16,724.24 mm³). Thus, the 500-piece set offers a better deal in terms of the amount of magnetic material you're getting.

Might have helped if you included something to back up your post, but you didn't - because you were lying:

500pc is mostly nano sizes, that made 'em useless like having magnetic dust, no matter how many you got.

Anyone want to celebrate pi day by calculating the total volume of the two deals and comparing them?

I don't.

OG deal finders remember when buckyballs were being sold for a few bucks when all the new broke. I still have my sets on the fridge.

Seems like a pretty good deal, though I find for my 3D printing projects i prefer an 8mmx3mm, the 2mm thick never seem quite strong enough
I also prefer the square ones

So youre saying that this magnet on this deal is not good for 3d print applications?
No, they are not. They are too small and too weak for most practical purposes when it comes to 3d printing..

Pepperidge Farms remembers when you could cheat the electric and gas company with magnets.

They're also nice to check if you have lead pipes in your house.
How do magnets help you find lead pipes? Lead is not in the least bit magnetic.

That's exactly the point. A magnet test is one of the tests to determine your pipe material.
