    amsteel in bulk

    hey, im trying to find somewhere to buy 7/64" amsteel in bulk...like in 100', 200', 300' rolls. I have not been able to find anything, and i just didnt know if there was anything out there that would be cheaper than just ordering by the foot from reddenmarine, ohh and btw, does reddenmarine have a discount for a bulk buy??
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I think you can use the coupon code Hammockforum.

    Amsteel Group Buy

    Perhaps you could instigate something like this http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...hlight=Amsteel

    "They sell it in 600' spools
    http://www.reddenmarine.com/marine-s...pool-blue.html

    I think you can use the coupon code Hammockforum."

    I did the math to my home and it worked out to 19.5 cents per foot. (with discount) Not bad

    Poking around the internet and it appears that Seattle Marine sells it for $.14 per foot in the 600 ft spool. Shipping adds about $.02 per foot for the spool.

    Same here.

    That's 600' ++ (if all black)

    We could maybe stop here or leave it open to see if we have more buying power.

    If memory serves, these group buys can fast become a circus. Most people only ever host one.

    Arrowhead Equipment sells 25' lengths for $5.50. If you just need 200', you can get that for $44. I'm pretty sure he will ship it as one continuous length, but would check to see if he has a max on that. Yes, a little more pricey per foot, but not that much more and you don't have to worry about shipping product after receiving a giant spool.
