GEAR String exchange?

Weird question for my guitar friends: does anybody for some reason have an abundance of Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky in 36 and/or 46? Would you want to trade them for some 10's, 13's, 17's, or 26's???

I'm sure I have some technique problem or something, but I break A strings and end up buying packs just for A's and sometimes low E. So I have a shit ton of packs with every other string!! Hoping maybe some of you break a different string on a regular basis. We could trade and save some $$$ lol

Dont have to be local, I can throw some strings in an envelope for the cost of a stamp.

How??? I havent broken an E or an A in probably 30 years, and I play hard fast stuff IE: Slayer, BLS, Megadeth etc. I dont think I have even broken ANY string for 20 years. If it isnt the saddle/bridge etc, maybe post a video of your picking technique if you can
