FWIW:
Local HomeDepot (Richmond) has four colors of wilsonArt laminate, $42 per 8x4. Black, egg white, oak and granite, IIRC. Doesn't look look like they have a good turn over rate, because every time I check for a sale (ya, right), it looks like I was the last one to touch them, fignerprints in the dust and all.
HomeDepot (Emeryville) had a better selection (5 colors, & not dust covered) last time I looked ~ three months ago, but @ $48.
Nearest Lowe's (Union City) had formica brand laminate, fifty something last time I checked about 6 months ago.
