    I agree, $55.38 for a 1/2 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. panel is a good price!
    On eBay they ask double for it, not to mention what they ask overhere...

    They must have had a large order for 6' sections or something of it.....because it typically comes in a 4'x8' sheet.....But a good deal if you have a use for that size.

    Up To 96"x 54" and every strange size below but jobbers can't get just 24" x 48". And NOT at this price.
    12x27, 24x27 or 24x54.

    I start trimming the 5 mini-sheets we purchased Monday, tomorrow. Not sure how to bill it out yet.

    The entire mini-sheet to what you're cutting out of it, considering chances of using the small piece that's left over are usually next to none. You shouldn't have to eat the difference on something like that. I view things as how their full time Captain would buy it if they had one. It's a different situation if you go through a lot of 1" wire bound hose and buy a 50' roll of it and cut off 5' for someone and can normally use and sell the remainder. But, if it's something you have no use otherwise stocking, and something you may not even sell over the next 10 years, then bill them for the mini-sheet, which isn't that expensive anyways.

    Fortunately, the HD sizes fit my ongoing project (24x40) better than any jobber list with even less waist. That's how I found this purchase item to share. Even If I chose the closest size to work with, it's still cheaper.
    Wholesale, retail, and many in-betweens offer some nice prices, but for some reason (only this size), this one retail listing kicks some stuff..
    So, if HE can market one line item at this price, (way below jobber cost) can they deliver (or have they been?) on other material?
