Thanks to new tariffs on these materials, which are manufactured in 
Fair-Rite's factories in China, prices have doubled since June, when I 
paid about $3.25 each for 100.

BTW -- RG400 is a far better choice, because the center is silver-coated 
stranded copper. Even with that center, the smallest one time bend 
radius spec I have seen for it is one inch. RG142 has a SOLID 
silver-coated steel center, and the minimum bend radius is significantly 
greater.
