They can usually be found on ebay for under $200 (buy it now, plus shipping).

My LHS gave me a sweet deal near Christmas two years ago because he wanted to move them.  I can see no reason why it couldn't happen in an online purchase as well, but their margins are sometimes a bit less, and they may be more resistant to haggling.

Your profile dosn't indicate where you live - can't recommend a dealer in Fla if you live in AlaskaConfused [%-)]

I bought my 120 foot from a dealer who gives a little discount. It is nice to have someone to talk to as I try to make it work. I also did not have to pay shipping. But then I live near a great dealer. Not much help, am I.
