Best price on flex track?

[AllenB]

I'm trying to find some bulk code 100 Atlas flex. Anyone know of a good source? The cheapest I've found is box of 5 for $20.19. ???

The "E" word... check out eBay.
I just looked and saw a pack of:
10 for $36.95 + 7.95 shipping
25 for $92.95 + 11.95 shipping
100 for $339.00 + 16.95 shipping

When you consider the shipping, the larger lots are just under $4.20 per piece. Seems pretty reasonable, but still slightly more than the deal you found. Used track is always an option. I've seen it for $2-$3 per piece. But you never know how carefully it was removed... could be damaged.

I'd say, go with the deal that you found.

I just looked on Model Trainstuff last nite for a box of 100 pcs. & it went up in just 3 months from $279.00 to $299.00 a case. Should have bought it about 6 months ago when it was $259.00 a case.

That's what would revive the economy, a market in model railroad track futures.

gads, talk about inflation. I think I paid somewhere in the $1 range in the early 90s....whodathunk my investment in track would beat my 401k....

The cheapest I could find was a box of 100 from Trainworld / trainland they have ads in model railroader I think the website was trainworld.com. I shoped around for a while they were the cheapest I could find even adding the shipping.
