I couldn't believe it, but apparently a local store hadn't had a price change on the 1/2" tubing, which I bought. I have a bid for some other 1/2" on ebay, hopefully I will be outbid.
1/2" od. The floor guy couldn't believe it, he checked and checked. I asked if the price was for real; his reply, "it is until it gets changed." I didn't have to think twice! I thought I could make quite the chiller with it.
Copper prices, at least in the futures market, are the cheapest they've been in several years. We can "thank" the worldwide economic slowdown for that, especially the huge, HUGE drop in home construction. Hard to see those factors turning around any time soon; copper *should* be getting cheaper.
stainless tubing is actually cheaper than copper tubing from our approved vendors at my work...

Diamond Home Improvent is a home improvement place in Grants Pass, OR. I have a max bid of $28 on +/-50 feet of 1/2" on ebay. The shipping is $12. I thought that would be a good deal. Now I hope I am outbid!
Funny thing is that the store had 3/8", which was $47.99 for 50 feet.
50'- 1/2" copper tubing=$29.99
