You're right, it is a 25 foot roll, but my dealer cost is still a whole lot less than the $80.00 you've been quoted. The forum rules require we not go into details re cost vs retail, but it sounds to me like you've been quoted retail plus shipping and GST with a little extra on the side for the distributer's pocket. All the best,

Definitely a case of price gouging here in my opinion. Either that you got one heck a tax rate. Here is what my Briggs distributor is selling this 25ft roll for and what the Briggs suggest retail prices. This represent a 20% GPMU through I charge by the foot so I up more at 35% GPMU. IF I was to sell the complete at one time and it was special order; otherwords, not part of my regular orders then I would add the shipping costs to the retail.
now of course below prices don't include shipping. This particular changed their shipping rates to retail UPS; unless, I order 200 usd worth of items. It been a pain as some are just shy of this but I learn just throw some cheap throw away item to the order. Boy they probably hate those 200.03 orders.
