    hmm

    2 dollars a foot? I would never pay more than $1.26 a foot for el string. Is it the standard 2.3mm size being sold everywhere or 3.2mm?

    elwire cheap

    If I were a consumer and I didn't want to pay high prices for elwire or eltape I would purchase them from elwirecheap.com. If you want to buy in your country I would look for the importer for el wires. Most of this stuff is manufactured at the same factories in china, taiwan, and israel. It is then exported to different countries where the buyer renames it with their own brand. The quality of el wire is nearly the same wherever you buy it from. The only difference is in the inverter and how close to saturation point and frequency the wire is pushed at.

    i'm looking right now.....

    EDIT: nope, can't find it. maybe if i stop by a best buy i can look or ask for the product #, then you could enter it on the site.

    but often the site or store just have different items. like at radioshack.com they'll tell you if it's available, and sometimes they don't have any info on an item i saw in the store. :blah:

    they didn't have any at my local Best Buy either... :grr: went during lunch... I did get a good deal on a powered USB hub that I am going to use in a keyboard mod I have been thinking about.. the casing didn't have any screws ... just popped it open and removed the board in about 5 seconds... roar.

    If i thought it might happen i would ask

    'would someone care to get me some blue 8/ if they can find it?' and ill send you a cheque+urP&P+bank charge (if one to cash in a £££ cheque)

    but i doubt it will happen unless u ppl are very...well obsessively kind.

    reason being $12.99 = 8.67040 GBP and that = Fuggin` Bargain even if i have to pay £10 on your postage + P&P

    AND ITS ACTUALLY BLUE¬!

    edit: Oh Paypal seems to be an all $$$dollars$$$ affair. lets put this idea on hold for a day or so. ive managed to find some blue flexi pvc tube...it might affect the colour of my string somewhat, i should get tomorrow morning.

    I'm thinking it would be with all the car schtuff. You know, where they keep the steering wheel covers, uber-cheap neons, and other items sure to be on your ghetto ricer's wishlist :D I could be wrong though.
