EPDM membrane or kit for a 27' X 8' roof

I have been searching for a reliable source for the stuff I need to replace my EPDM membrane but can't find a reliable source that's not marking the cost up 500% I found one that's selling on their site and eBay simultaneously it's a lot cheaper to buy from them via eBay but I'm afraid there could be a reason the stuff they are selling on eBay is 40% less! Anyone know who I can. Order from that's legit? And it won't take 4-6 weeks to ship? I found a site called bestmatterials.com that has a 9' X 28' EPDM kit for $436.00 they said if I order now it would arrive in 6-9 days, anyone here ever order from them? And can I get a better deal anywhere else?
Thanks

I searched and ordered a replacement roof for my 5er on line.... found lots of suppliers... I personally bought a product almost 50% thicker than the OE roof with the understanding it would resist some damage....

If you go to Vegas and sit in one of the towers and look down to the casino roof's, you'll notice that the whole roof is an EPDM membrane glued/welded together with walkways across the roof so that the staff going to HVAC and electrical panels don't walk on the surface.... they easily get 25 years on the roof... or so the guys I've talked to have shared...

They say its all about the quality (thickness) of the product and the adhesive that stays flexible so when needed they can pull it back and do repairs...

There are a lot of great u-tube videos on the replacement... my 32 ft of membrane, adhesive, seam tape (insurance) and USP was about $600. I thought a good value..

You used to find .045 and .060 in 12 widths at Lowes and Home Depot but I've not seen it in a few years...

When I did mine, I bought the .065 material for about $.65 a square foot. It comes 10 ft wide so figure $6.50 per running ft time 28 ft comes to about $185 for material plus the contact glue. Mine was from Banner supply in Youngstown, but just try your local roofing supply shop. BTW that was about five years ago.

I replaced my rubber roof on a 97 class A last spring I rented a barn stripped roof. Replaced plywood then hired a commercial roofer on the side he got the rubber and glue from commercial supply house and installed my roof in about 3 hours. Much thicker then RV supplied material.

Never thought about renting a barn there are plenty of them around me I have to try look for one someone isn't using my brother in law has one but it hasn't been used in 30 years and the roof just caved in :( on it
