  Prices look very good, although 305m minimum quantity is a LOT of cable, more than you'd use unless you were in the business of putting up balustrading. My local boat shop sells for $2.95/m, or $2.21/m for a 305m roll. Still, you could use however much you want, and sell the rest on ebay.

  A warning if you are doing balustrading: this cable (1x19 3.2mm) is very stiff, you will have a difficult time if you have to bend it. I have done two washing lines with this stuff, one a rotary and one a rectangular fold-up. the rotary was the easier of the two, less bends, and it is still going fine a decade later. The rectangular-frame washing line, being a single cable threaded back and forth and joined in only one place, has needed tightening every few months for the last several years, as the cable bends gradually become more like a right-angle.

  If you need cable that can bend, get the more flexible version of cable, which is usually seven cores each with seven strands, referred to as "7x7". But this sort of cable has a different problem: each of those strands is about the width of a fine needle, and just as sharp and stiff. Use thick gloves, but still expect to draw blood.

    Just remembered something else: you don't want to use the more-flexible "7x7" cable for a washing line. If it touches your head, it has an amazing affinity for catching your hair between the strands, and you'll lose a few hairs each time it happens.

  You are right Russ - 1/19 is very stiff and best in straight lines, for swaging etc - for crimping at the ends or going round bends use 7/7 or even better 7/19 as this is the most flexible - we also have 7/19 in the deal at $1/M:
