    Here in Ohio, Lowes has FFF on sale for $14 and some change a bundle, I dug thru the stacks and found 2 stacks of p/p layflat (new Bluecor)
    Since they didn't know it was different from PB3 I got it at the same price.
    P.S. The easy way to find the P/P stuff is to look for square cut edges, not folded over

    Can someone who buys or bought it post the dimension and the weight of the package? I need them in order to get a quote from the courier services I use to ship it here to the Dominican Republic. Can't get this stuff here. :(

    :?: huh? 50 feet divided by 2 feet width means that 50 feet will be 25 layers. At 6mm per layer that makes 150mm or about 5.905 inches. You must be measuring a triple-stack if yours is 18 inches thick. :!:
    And if you bought a triple-stack for the price of a single, you need to run back to that store QUICK! :shock:

    Ok, I just came back from my Lowes and they now have PBIII on clearance for $9.09 a bundle!!!
    This is the honest truth and I didn't have my cell phone on me or I would have taken a picture of it. They look to be down to 5 bundles left of it though.

    Anyone close to Columbus, Ohio might consider a trip down to purchase some, or if they plan to make a trip down I will be glad to go pick some up for you and hold it until you can come to Columbus and pick it up.

    I do drive to Cleveland/Akron/Canton on a regular basis during the work week and can even bring some up if anyone needs some, you would have to meet me at wherever I am working that day.

    If you are sure you want me to nab some, you have to make sure you will come for it because I just don't like the stuff personally, (I have 3 bundles on hand for prototyping) and don't want to be stuck with it.

    Hmmm - I wonder if you could buy it online from Jeff's Ohio store, then schedule it for a pickup at your local store :!: :roll:
    Hey Jnida63, exactly where is your store? Is it the only Lowe's in Columbus?
    Good grief, I just looked and they have 7 stores in Columbus! On which street is that one?
