im not trippin too hard... i have money coming in. just trying not to pinch pennies right now... the tubing is way quality and worth every cent. Mountain Glass has Golden Gate ate $75/lb, and that doesnt include shipping. Also, I dont know about you, but ive used their tubing before and was not impressed. colors diluted, tubing was thin... On this pull, i have had none of those issues. I can snap a stick if anyone needs a wall thickness pic. (maybe i can convince the shop owner to cut a stick for me with the saw). anyway, the last post i did is the only price drop. if it sells it sells. if not, no biggie. thanks for the responses
