I think we need a thread dedicated to good places to buy material. I have accumulated wholesale or near wholesale sources for electrical, appliances, stone, flooring, etc. I have spent tons of time searching for quality materials over the past 5 years of my remodel and I am sure you all have great sources to share as well.

If you like this idea, I suggest we use a format like this:

Material - City - Source - Website - Your Experience

=== Example ===

Building Stone & Flagstone -

Abilene ( Will ship ) -

Schkade Mines

I bought 80K lbs of stone from them for less than $7K delivered. That would have cost nearly $20K from local stone resellers.
