Buying by the 20' stick my cost for the receiver tube is right at $8.25 per foot - The 2x2x.250" wall runs about $5.50. If you're actually gonna be in the Albany area and want some, PM me here ahead of time and let me know how much you'll want; I usually don't reorder til it's down around 2-3 feet left. During the week I get orders within 2 days (usually the NEXT day) of calling it in.
BTW, the HF 18" piece weighs 6# per foot, the tubing I get is just over 8# per foot, so basically 3/16" wall vs. 1/4" wall. Realistically, if a person isn't using a LOT of this stuff (or doesn't need the extra strength of the thicker wall) it probably isn't worth messing with.
Here's a few of the "tinker toys" in process, the place they usually hang out when not in use, and a handy little 120 volt winch that can plug in wherever I have a reciever (or a place to clamp to) - runs fine on the little 2kw inverter genny.
