Is this a good deal

[hawkglass]

I found an offer for 12' of 50x1.8 simax tubing for 59.55 obo

[Nicholas Rado]

is that 12 feet or 12 tubes?

a case (12 tubes) of simax 50mmx1.8mm wall goes for $138 on mountain glass.

assuming 5ft tubes thats $2.30/ft

Its wall thickness is just over 1/16 thick .071" . pull it out of the fire it freezes in the fire turns to soup. About like thin ass Chinese test tubes.

What would you make with it? light bulbs?

Offer $20 and dont let them talk you up much.

Its cut to 1' sections and there is 12 but hes asking 12 $ for the tubes but shiping is 47.55$

Oh yea, shipping is the bitch of it all. 4 times the cost of the glass. Even when I order $65 it runs me $100+ when the shipping charge is added.

The tube is a good deal but the shipping will make you feel like you were bent over and had angry sex forced on you.

Damn its a tough call.

Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

Sounds like drops/end cuts off some other product - i.e. scrap, aka trash.

However, if you NEED 12" sections of 50 std wall tube... I guess it's not a horrible deal, but he can ship it for a lot less... probably around $20.

... for 59.55 obo

I didn't see it was OBO.

Offer him $30 shipped. He's trying to sell glass he would otherwise likely throw away.
