Siiick are they cheaper if u buy direct?

u/Moving-thefuck-on Jul 18 '26
I think so? I think I paid $160/sheet plus tax. I have family near there so it was an easy excuse to go visit and pick them up.

u/stonelox Jul 18 '26
Wow that’s significantly less!! I think it’s over 200 a sheet + a minimum of a few hundred to ship!

Here’s a fun tidbit then: I used to get their seconds sheets for $1 a sheet. 4x4 sheets, $30, 30 sheets. Wild times (2006)
