I'm neither a crcuteer or sign shop. I've got a good cutter and do custom work for the clubs here and some friends.

I went to two of the local sign shops in an attempt to BUY a foot x 24" of an off color that I didn't feel like ordering a 10 yard roll of to make an N number for a buddy of mine. They wanted 6 dollars per foot! That and they didn't even want to SELL it to me until I explained why I needed it. Even at my cost, which I'm sure is higher than theirs due to the small quanities I buy, its like 53 cents a foot.

A scrap would have worked, I was prepared to pay a buck or two for them to pull it off the roll and cut it off. 6 bucks? Told them no thanks.
