Craig:
Rang a glass place today to get a price on a sheet of glass for my cocktail cab. They want $235 for toughend and $265 for laminated glass! That's Australian dollars.
Anyone else having people charge high prices for glass?

I think I will go to my local hardware shop and get a sheet of acrylic.

Wyluli:
Holy cow man!  Pick up a used window at a rummage sale and cut it up.
Seriously though, have you checked the local hardware stores?

Scott84:
How much is plexiglass?

SirPeale:
You definitely have to shop around.

Case in point: I was looking for business cards a few years ago, and was calling all the local print shops.

The general prices was from ~$20 - $40 for 1,000 raised print cards.

With the exception of one place.  Called them, she said that they'd have to get back to me on a quote.

They called the next day, and quoted me $100.  I asked if they were gilded, and she of course said no, and asked why.  When I said that her quote was about $60 more than anyone else had, she said "well, I guess you won't be using us then, huh."  You got that right, lady!

I bought a sheet of plexiglass at the Home Depot, and used a laser cutter at school.  Total cost? about $8  8)
