WHAT! $65? CRAZY!!
no, i paid $39 for my 109" roll of black. i paid $24 for my 54" rolls of grey and blue. the 54" roll of white came with my stand.
sure, i pay sales tax...but i literally walk into the store on a monday. tell my camera buddy guy i want x color in x size. pay for it. they call me on wednesday or thursday at the latest and i go in to pick it up. or, if i NEED it, i drive 30min into Atlanta and buy it at the main store downtown...they have most of the commonly needed colors in stock all the time. that, however, requires gas expenditure i'd prefer not to put forth.
easy peasy.
and, i get to play with some fellow camera nerds and flirt shamelessly with a guy that is almost young enough to be my son (my dh gets a hoot out of it...it's HARMLESS and silly as all get out...but makes my day that much nicer and then my dh benefits too
)
