Default Anyone here have a decent source to buy Ti?

I'm looking around for a good place to pick up some titanium tubing and possibly some sheet for practice. I've found a couple places, but was just curious what you guys on here are using

i get all my "exotic" metals, 321, inconel from my tube bender who in turn gets it from future metals. The airplane exhaust company I use to weld for used future metals as well for all of their metal needs. Im almost 100% certiain they carry TI.

I "usually" get my stuff from Titanium Joe. Otherwise, I usually just "happen" upon it.
I know that sounds weird, but I just buy on spec sometimes. Like last year I was chatting with my buddy David at AED, and he said he happened to have some Ti left over form one job, and wanted it gone. Took it off of him on spec, and used it 6 months later. I know you need it now, but I always keep my ear to the ground.
There is actually some small stuff on e-bay every so often too. Titanium Joe has always treated me great, and often has stuff that isn't listed on his site.
I'm going to check out this Future Metals place though, see what they have and what their prices are like.

I import it out of korea. The duty isn't fun though and the MOQs are high.
