I used to pay 0.80 CAN but I moved and now I pay about 1.10 for the same thing there quoting you for. I haen't worked out which is a better tube. For General lengths of standard tubing I pay a dollar to a 1.30 CAN a foot.
Where are you pricing. Sounds Like the Metal Supermarket. I bought there once in a pinch and will never go back!!!!

I just bought sch40 pipe, 1 1/4 diameter for a $6 for 12 inch section. He gave me like 2ft cause he did not want to cut it and he had drops of it.

Your going to have a very hard time getting any good deals without purchasing at least 100-120 ft of the same size tubing from a major supplier. Here is the best source there is at a reasonable cost good delivery on short lengths and good prices on small quantities It is a very busy place so try and know what you want before you call
