Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Skycraft doesn't list everything they sell on their website either. They're a few miles from me and I get stuff many times in-house cheaper than posted on their website or not on their website at all.Bought some SPT1 green wire from them last year for about .03¢ foot in-store! Whereas their on-line only had white listed at the time for .13¢ a foot.Nice to be able to just go to the store and get it.Only thing I've not found there are vampire or any type of snap on male/female or pass through plugs. Although I keep asking for them every time I go in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not shipping. $34 for a 250 ft roll. $0.136/ftSince this is my first year I think I only need 500 ft the most for my 16 channel display - so I think the menards deal is the best. Thanks for all the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Maue Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have only one year with LOR under my belt as well, but agree with the comment above, for what it's worth. Get more cord than you think you'll need. I was less than 2 weeks away from my show date and was short 2,000 feet of cord. And I started with 3,000 feet. So I needed almost 2x what I'd originally planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerherly Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 This is my first year with LOR so I was also in need of some SPT wire. I just checked out Menards on the tip above- They have booth SPT1 and SPT2. The SPT1 is $34.00 a roll, but now till 5/28/12 they have the 11% rebate going on. If my calculations are correct that is $30.26 for 250 feet, which comes to .121/ft.I think the SPT2 was $47 per 250' but I'm not positive, but would also have the rebate applied.
