I'm posting this after discussing prices the other day on the forum hope to see everyone's buying price
These prices are per mtr from Reece's in Ballarat
25mm or 1" = $ 26 per mtr
50mm or 2" = $54
80mm or 3" = $96
100mm - 4" = $120
150mm - 6" = $255

per meter ?

Pumb Tech
Not trade prices so my plumber would get them cheaper
80mm = $68
100mm = $92
150mm = $153 (won't cut so $920 per 6mtrs

I found a place called Carrington Plumbing in Riverside NSW when I was looking around at bits and pieces. I don't know about their prices but there are part numbers in the catalogue. They maybe expensive, but I thought I would post this up for you lot so someone can give them a call. Some really nice shiny copper bits in there, if the prices are good, this could be a winner.

Here is the list of products in the catalogue:

Pressure Bends (1d & 1½ d radii)
Pressure Tee’s (Equal & Reducing)
Concentric Reducers & Pressure Connectors
Eccentric Reducers, End Caps & Brazing Bushes
Non Pressure Bends (plain & with inspection opening)
Pan Collars & Tundishes
Junction Bends, Junction Adaptors & Expansion Joints
Cap & Liners, Junctions, Floor Wastes, Grab Rail & Custom Manufactured Fittings
Copper Tube Table

I was surprised too, not as much as he was when asked so you want a meter of each and I responded with nope. Went in to order those flange nuts you showed me to use for the element in the keg and thought I would ask while I was there...

Must buy 6 meters

50mm - $26p/m
25mm - $12.93p/m
20mm - $7.44p/m

50mm Elbow 90 - $6.10
50mm Elbow 45 - $3.45
Reducer 50 -> 25 - $2.30

Reducer "T" for lieburg, 25mm in, 20mm out, 20mm T, $2.30

Hi ohms some of those prices look pretty good , where did you get them ?

Samios Plumbing supplies
80mm straight connectors - 3 of them were $36.50
(only had $35 on me - so he did them for $11 each - noice)

Parkwood hardware
80mm cap - $6.00 or there abouts

So far in my experience Plumbtec members do things at normal prices - no stupid markups for counter sales

I've got $8.00 for a 3" cap

and

I got 3" for a similar price so seems as good as you'll get without a trade account :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I just did some calling around on copper pricing in Adelaide, I'll keep names to myself for now (don't want to piss off people I'll be buying from), PM me if you want the store names. Told each one I didn't have an account.

Supplier 1:
2" - $88 /m
3" - $335 /m
4" - $463 /m (WTF, no bubbler for me)

Supplier 2:
2" - $97 /m - $195.80 /6m
3" - $311 /m - $429 /6m
4" - $430 /m - $478 / 6m (Maybe I should build a 6m high bubbler)

Supplier 3:
2" - $47 /m - $187 /6m
3" - $102 /m - $409 / 6m
4" - $131 /m - $525 /6m

Called Supplier 2 again mentioning Supplier 3's costs, new quote:
2" - $47 /m
3" - $102 /m
4" - $131 /m

Lessons learnt:
- Lots of places don't like selling less than 6m, because then they're left with a <6m piece that's hard to sell
- Retail copper prices are stupid, quote from one of the guys: "We never charge retail prices for copper"
- Call around before paying for copper
