Try McMaster-Carr, if you do not mind buying on-line and paying shipping.

Does it have to be rigid and straight?  Auto parts stores sell 1/8 soft copper on a roll for gauges.

That's true, but it is extra thick wall, and therefore extra $ and extra heavy. Some hardware stores have K&S stuff in 36" lengths. That's where I'd look first.  D>K Steve

If I read it correct a 6' 1/4 K&S copper tubing on eBay

The eBay ad also says 1/4" OD & 1/8" ID with .014" wall thickness. Some math problems with that! I'm also pretty sure that Gil wants 1/8" OD, but you never really know!  D>K Steve

I have 3 pcs of 1/8x36 K&S copper tubing in stock for $10.00 but the shipping would probably kill you. Unless of course you know some one in Cleveland. Ohio that could pick it up.
Sorry

     Gil, I've gotten 1/8 OD tubing from Andy's in the past. Can't remember the length though, check wit'em.

My bad requirement was 1/8".  K&S only has 12" in the 1/8"
