Ladies and gentlemen, I have up for offer one of the famous Lee Valley "lifetime" hoses. 3/4" inside diameter and 100 foot length. This is no ordinary hose. Text from Lee Valley below:

Lifetime Hose
This is the last hose you will ever need to buy. Virtually indestructible, it is made of eight-layer construction (many hoses have only one layer) and has a burst strength of 500 psi, well above that of a regular hose. Still, it is only 2/3 the weight of a rubber hose.
The outer layer is glossy and abrasion resistant; it remains flexible even in cold weather. The 3/4" inside diameter permit greater water flow than the more common 1/2" diameter. At 60 psi and using 50' of hose, the approximate flow rate in gallons per minute is 10.5 for a 1/2", and 31 for a 3/4" dia. hose. This means much less waiting for watering cans to fill up.

The hoses have heavy-duty brass couplings. Each is guaranteed by the manufacturer for as long as you own it. A super buy. Comes in 25', 50', 75' or 100' lengths, and in 5/8" or 3/4" diameters.
Made in USA.
This retails for $104.50 plus tax, and stuff from lee valley rarely goes on sale. In perfect condition, only reason I'm selling is that I really don't need such a long hose. I live inner-city, and I can reach pretty much every spot in my yard with a 50' hose.
Selling for $55.
