[TANKS] Re: #50 Attachment Chain?
I have priced the Japanise chain @ about $40 per foot. I have priced the import chain (from Peer Chain) @ $20 / foot in 100 foot lots. There is no such thing as $2 chain?

RE: [TANKS] Re: #50 Attachment Chain?
There is no such thing as $2 chain? yes there is: www.mccchain.com.tw I bought from there at about USD$2.30 per foot. I dealt with them wholly via email, and a SWIFT transfer for payment. You will need to buy a fair bit though to meet a minimum order, I purchased 40 feet and had to pay an additional $100 minimum order fee. Even with that, and shipping (40 feet of #50 chain is not light!) it was still over $150 cheaper than getting something locally.

RE: [TANKS] Re: #50 Attachment Chain?
Their response as usual for any company depends on how you deal with them. I told them up front it was for a personal hobby project and I was only after small amount. In the end they even reduced the shipping cost because it was a personal order. If you just ask for a price with no background then you'll probably get the standard book minimum and price.
