[QUOTE="Mechalus, post: 6365991, member: 6770096"] Technically, for the 6 tile set, it's $52 + $16 S&H, making them $8.66 each. But we're actually losing money on the S&H so... That said, I understand where you are coming from. I had hoped to be able to bring the price down more, but I'm afraid that's just what Tact-Tiles cost. Manufacturing in the US is expensive, especially for relatively low-volume injection mold production. And we've got a lot of overhead weighing us down. If we hadn't gotten the original mold from BC Products, they'd cost a lot more. :-S Now, all that said, I believe they are well worth the price.
