I picked up a 1200' spool of white 550 cord on E-bay for $36 but that was a couple years ago. The vendor went out of business shortly thereafter so I considered myself lucky to even get my shipment. (He incorrectly sent it to another customer and had to wait for it to be shipped back to before he could ship it to me. When I left him a
neutral rating, he complained and whined and said it wasn't fair to him!) Well, he got exactly what was fair to him in the end.
Factor in the shipping cost to Canada and the exchange at the time, it came out to about $0.46/ft which I thought was a great deal. I chopped them into 50' and 100' lengths and now family and friends have benefited from my generosity.
