Right... Home Depot, Lowes and my local hardware store sells schedule 40 AND schedule 80 fittings and valves at 1/2~2/3 the price for the pool store. Anything special about the pool store fittings?
I feel a little dumb ... I just bought 2 Jandy glue fitting ball valves off of fleabay for ~$30 which I thought was a bargain but when I was at Home Depot this afternoon I saw that schedule 80 ball valves with THREADED fittings were going for ~$12.
