/boring story
Here's the deal: I went down to my plastics supplier recently to pick up some nice acrylic for my res/airtrap. To my dismay, they refused to sell me just 14" of it. So, I was forced to buy a 6' piece. Now, I would normally be happy to keep the other 4'10" of acrylic tube, but I am already going past my budget on this project. So, I need to unload this tube on you guys!
/boring story

The Details: 2.000" OD x 1.750" ID Clear Extruded Acrylic Tube. Cost to me for 6' length: $16.22. Here is a link to exactly what you are getting, and as you can tell, this is a very decent price.

Cost per inch is *SORRY ALL GONE*

Cutting is free if you choose for me to cut it using a hand saw, but no guarantees it will be perfect. Since you will likely be using end caps, any small chips I might make will be rendered invisible anyway. If you decide you want perfection, I can take the tube down to my supplier ( Ridout Plastics ), and they can cut it using their high pressure water cutter for $2 a cut.

If you are already dreaming of the possibilities for this tube, you could have the whole thing for $15. But this would be costly and a PITA to ship and you would have to cut it yourself. So I would prefer if I could sell it in 6"-18" lengths.

If, by now, you are still confused as to why I would be selling this in a WC forum, just look at this thread to get an idea of what you can accomplish.

So just tell me how much you want to reserve, in this thread, then I can easily keep track of who wants what. First come first serve, but there's really plenty enough for 5 decent pieces, so no need to rush.
