Depends how cheap it is for the quality. You can always change the look by varying the accessory colours. I don't think it is usual here, at $26.00 a metre but I did buy whole bolts at one sale where they were selling off at $5.00 and $10.00 per bolt of good quality material. I've only just finished the last of it this year after buying them about 10 years ago. That has been a real saving that has kept me happily busy.
