looking for inexpensive brick sheets??

not sure what u define as inexpensive but rustystumps.com has some really good brick sheets. easy to cut, east to weather and not pricey. since u don't want the flat paper type (micro mark has those and they are not all that bad), I think rustystumps is your best bet.

Michael's Crafts has an approximately 4" x 6" clear plastic sheet for use with their clay presses, it usually comes in a package of 3 with 2 other types of stone designs.

Here is my take and experiences:

N Scale Architect (listed in the scenery source list): they carry a couple of different styles and have a sheet of details and arches. $20 for two sheets, 10" x 14". The quality on these is very good... crisp detail, easy to cut and work with and come in a size that makes making large buildings very easy. For a foreground building, this is the way to go. Very easy to cut strips of brick to make various brick profiles. I use these for foreground buildings. Paints very nicely.

JTT Scenery: Two sheets for $6.50, 7.5" x 12". Definitely less "crisp" in detail and a little thicker than the N Scale Architect sheets. A "softer" plastic so a little more difficult to cut and get a crisp line ... more sanding needed. I don't think you could cut strips of brick to make brick profiles ... the detail just isn't that crisp. I just bought a couple of packages from the LHS and was pleasantly surprised considering the cost. They worked well for background buildings without a lot of detail. However, the smaller size means you have to plan joints carefully.

Ebay Brick sheets (from Ebay Chinese seller We Honest: 4 sheets for $15, 7.5" x 12": Exact same as JTT Scenery.

In the below photo, the building on the right was made completely with N Scale Architect sheets. For the building on the left, the front was made with N Scale Architect sheets and the sides (the lighter brown) were made with JTT to economize on cost. It is hard to see in the photo but there is a strip of vertically laid bricks above the windows ... those are from the N Scale Architect's sheet of window arches.

Sorry for the link ... can't seem to get the photo to work.

Have to agree with CTA Fan on the N Scale Architect (nice building, by the way!).  The N Scale Architect carries a variety of brick patterns for certain historical eras, which is very useful.  I have plans to construct a PRR Interlocking Tower built in 1927 that used a Flemish bond brick pattern;  N Scale Architect has that pattern.

Also, below a certain cost point, poor quality negates any price advantage.

I think Model Builders Supply also carries some brick sheets, as does Plastruct.
