Normally Corian and Hi Macs Material are in the $50-$80 a square foot price range ( at least) and these are new uninstalled pieces. Purchasing them this way on Ebay is definitely cheaper. Hi Macs and Corian are very similar in features and scratch resistance as countertops. They can be made into trays, cutting boards, coasters and made into signs with a CNC unit just like you would engrave into wood.
