Hi civic, 
On ebay here's the cheapest so far... $3.79 each for as many as you need. the shipping starts at $6.00 but doesn't go up much as it costs hardly any more than that to ship more than one. Contact the seller first to get an exact shipping quote for the amount you wish to purchase, before you decide to buy.
Atlas Code 83 flex track

Make sure of which code you want to get to be consistent with the track you already may have. Same with the color of the ties.
I went the most generic:
#500, code 83, brown ties

I have a big box full of track and it's all code 83.
Before I bought any track I looked to see what was the most easily available and the nod went to 83 over 100 as it was the newer product.

Hey civic,
Watch out for buying inside of California, as you could get knicked for 9% sales tax.
(... and I do hope you realize that the ebay deal of $3.79 x 5 is $18.95

I think you can do better if you go to a hobby shop.
On e bay I all ways include the shipping in the final cost of what ever I won.
If you bought just one at $3.79 plus the $6.00 that's $9.79!
Find out before hand what the actual shipping cost will be. He might add a buck for each separate stick. So say you get 10 which is $37.90 add the $6.00 making it $42.90 now add $9.00 (at a buck a piece extra) Grand total is $51.90.
That brings your cost a piece at $5.19.
And if it's a dutch auction you will pay far more for the shipping.
Ask before what the shipping will be.

It's Nobody can EAT one potato chip!:laugh:
I asked that seller you mentioned on e bay, how much to ship 10 of them and the answer was $9.60.
Therefor with out tax the total would be $47.50 for ten, which comes out to $4.75 a section.
I still say he could find a better deal somehow local, if he could cut out the shipping and pick them up himself.

Well... that's why nobody buys one.
But don't forget when you buy local you have the time and cost of driving there, and you have to pay sales tax, too. Where we are, sales tax is just under 10%, which gives the nod to ebay.
I'm happy to get flex track delivered to my door for under 5 bucks a stick.
