Hi Mr. / Ms. FlexTech.

At first, browsing your website, I thought that all your products would be much much too-high-quality for me. Then I found your "RTW" line. That one's only much too good for me. Like the very best, industrial quality, plus if anyone happens to need chemical and hot oil resistance at 800 psi, no problem.

My own price/quality point would be more like buying old, damaged hoses at garage sales and repairing / cutting them up for short lengths.

I have a very small yard, so a few lines of relatively inflexible 3/4" black PVC tubing brings plastic spigots to every place I want one. Then short lengths of cheap, cut-up but flexible garden hose put a flexible hose end anywhere in the yard with as near to zero dragging as I please. (I use a lot of 2-valve "Y" fittings with hose threads, screwed into a PVC Tee fitting.)

I'm guessing that even in bulk, your least expensive RTW hose would cost more than, say, $19 or $32 per 100 feet?

I understand if you don't want to talk price online and be accused of advertising. But I think it's useful to the forum to hear about quality such as we don't see at Wal-Mart!
