    Sorry, disagree with the durability part. Hi-Quas 696 string is one of the least durable strings I've ever tried. It breaks so easily. But for value, it can't be beat.

    Unless you use BG80 very often, otherwise, storing and measuring with a big reel might be more trouble. Actually, there are deals for single packs with very competitive prices. So, no need to go through all these troubles.

    $4 CDN is an amazing deal, even pretty good for BG65. For BG80, the best deal I ever got is about $5+ US, which is around $6 CDN after shipping, I guess.

    CAD4.00/pack is not possible unless you are a Yonex distributor of a certain region ;). CAD4.75/pack is possible.

    I assume that's the price from Asian market, such as bbe from china? Well, then you really need to order hundreds, to balance out all the shipping stuff. Plus, try to avoid duty might be a pain...
