Now, let's say you're a big time homebuilder looking to soundproof every separation wall in a townhouse development, then I'm sure they're all ears as you'll qualify for the volume pricing. Plus, with the 'deal', many vendors hope to get that business relationship that keeps them in mind when the builder moves on to their next project. The 'average joe', well, he's gonna buy just enough of the product to take care of their pet project, whether it be home theater, or just a remodel. After that, the average joe won't likely make another purchase for years, possibly decades. A little competition in the marketplace would help prices out, but I think they have their polymer manufacturing process patented, so time will tell.

I called 2 different suppliers. Was quoted $65 and $72 a sheet plus freight. This stuff does not cost $40 a sheet to the average joe like me. I called 2 different suppliers.
