SITES WORTH VISITING

Tubemakers of Australia  (Distribution) Covers all basic website issues but has prices listed for excess stock which is easily searchable.  I don't know if the prices are attractive or up to date but it all can be downloaded in a spreadsheet. My criticism is that the excess stock does not indicate where it is held so transport costs could be prohibitive.
