I went to Home Depot today to find the tiles. After asking 2 sales drones
about them (to which they "never heard of them") I found them under a sign
by the flooring desk. I asked the price, "special order ONLY, full cases
ONLY (10 per) and $30 per case." $3 a square foot? That Pergo stuff is
only $2.75 INSTALLED!
So I called a friend of mine how owns a pool supply store and asked him
about them. "Sure, I got some, they didn't sell very well. "
"What's the cost?" I asked
"$3 a tile"
Well, what the HELL can be making these tiles so expensive? Everywhere I
do see them, they are an arm and a leg. Everyone place ALSO states that
they are "very poor sellers." I wonder why?
If anyone knows where I can find these for a cheaper price (hopefully $1 a
tile) LMK. I've got an area around 114 sq feet. Thanks.

I saw 'em at our Sears in Portland and they *did* sell them. But they
were $10 per tile (ie $10 per square foot) and I said if I was serious
about getting them I'd look elsewhere.
