DMC or Anchor?

Hi, is there any significant difference between the two? :?

Also I'm looking at some large bundles on eBay with one skein of each colour, would getting one of these be a good idea do you think so as to have a good variety of stock in hand or do you think it best to buy the colours as you need them? Went to local shop the other day and the skeins were about 86p each where as these on eBay work out around a quarter of the price.

I'm getting addicted :lol:

I recently brought these from ebay, it works out to about 11 pence each. Also there wasnt any duplicate colours.
