good idea for professionels who change strings every gig, not so good idea for amateurs, strings aren't vacume packed so they will oxidate even in their package and the last pack will sound just as dull as the strings on your guitar so waste of money

I use Rotosound guitar strings and they come in a foil packaging that says it's moisture proof for a long life, I buy them in bulk as I change guitar strings every three weeks when I'm rehearsing regularly with my band and I've not had a problem with any packs going bad. I'm not sure if other brands use the same packaging as I've been using Rotosound exclusively for the last 8 or 9 years.
