Call around to the local steel supply shops. They usually have drops (leftovers from another order). That's how I buy all of the DOM and steel. Also, most any steel shop will sell you a partial length, but it is a bit more expensive.

For that size DOM, I have recently paid anywhere from $8/ft to $12/ft (the high end being some cut off a new stick). You should have no trouble getting what you need for under $50.

Worst case, you can order it from Ruff Stuff. They have good prices, just have to pay for shipping.

If you don't buy them from Maertz, I actually have a set of Teraflex sleeves that I put up for sale only in the Norcal section. Haven't gotten around to putting it on the big sale board. $60 bucks plus whatever shipping is from CA...
