And all of a sudden your price is up to 30 bucks with a family member doing it. Can you now see why they sell for what they do?

$30? well we start at 15 for the piece, then to $18 once you add 3 bolts. the spacers all look to be the same inside and outside diameter, just different lengths. ive bought similar tubing from him before at about $15 a stick. the stick was 10ft i believe. the spacers(just guessing here) look to be about 3inchs, and the 2 shorter look to be about 2inchs. thats 7 inchs of spacer total per kit. 10ft stick in inchs is 120inchs. 120/7=17.14. call it 15 to be on the safe side and account for saw blade width. thats 15 kits per stick, which costs $15. thats $1 per kit. which brings us to a total of $19 per kit. i get that you have to factor all the other costs into the price, but im just saying, no reason for $19 in materials to turn into $115 total. i could see maybe $50....

Make up a few and see how it goes, you might have a moneymaker idea there. Nothing lost by trying.
