Default 6" abs or Pvc pipe

Does anyone know where I could buy a short piece of 6" abs or pvc pipe? I'm looking for a 2' piece, anywhere I've phoned sells it in 12' lengths which would be surplus to my needs. Edmonton or Sherwood park area.
Any feed back would be appreciated,
Thanks

Buy a 12' piece, cut your two feet off, cut the remaining 10' in half, glue a cap on one end, and a cleanout on the other (of both 5' pieces)
Sell them as "weather proof gun burial tubes" to recap the cost of your pipe. I think they'd sell quickly on here or on gunnutz.
I probably have a 2' scrap kicking around here, but I'm a couple hours away from you.

6" might make a good fishing rod holder.

Buy the 12 foot piece and cut off what you need and I'll buy the rest, I need it to build quivers for archery.

Home hardware here in Ontario sells it by the foot.

I've never seen 6" in Home Depot, they seem to stop at 4" as no home has anything larger in it (no normal home anyways...) and no commercial plumbers supply from them. You might try a local plumbing shop, they could well have some 'shorts' kicking around the shop and they would probably sell those. I don't inventory anything over 4" diameter but I'm a modest one-man shop and nowhere near you anyways.

Thanks for the replies, I recieved a pm from one member that may have access to a piece, if not I guess I'll be buying a twelve footer!
Gun burial tubes would be a good idea but I think 8" would be better for that.
I thought about magnum potatoes guns but I had a bad expierience with plastic potatoe guns, they should be made out of aluminum or steel thin wall pipe. Depending on choice of propellants of course!
4thredneck if I buy a 12 footer I'll let you know.

Just phone up a plumbing contractor, preferably someone who does small commercial construction. They keep small pieces around because they can always be used up.
