Steel price

What is a fair price to pay for dimensional steel? Someone has square tubing and channel a little rusty but in good shape for .50 cents a pound.

Varies from location to location. Call a local steel supplier and get costs of new & go from there.

Drops at my favorite steel yard have been $1.00 a pound for about 3 years now, so I'd think 50 cents is a pretty good deal especially if it's full lengths.

Clean drop around here is .80.

If you need it buy it. If you want it buy it. If it is straight material, it is a good buy. Jim

New steel is running $1.70 to $1.80/lb. No bargains these days. $0.50 is a good/fair price for surplus tube and channel.

We buy 100k pounds a month, or more. $0.58/ a pound.. Odd stuff might be a lot more, depending on when our supplier bought it. Stainless is about $2.50 a pound, but a lot more volatile.

Call a local supplier and ask for pricing. $0.50 is cheap.

Not going to buy new for that price. Average is about $1.50/lb depending what your buying. If you need what they are selling, I would get it before it's gone.
