Went to the local scrap metal outlet today to check out the current
inventory for a couple of projects and found that they were selling
scrap steel at 93 cents a pound(min 20#). What are you paying?
this is western NY


Last I bought was 40 cents a pound, ten dollar minimum. This was up from 30
cents a pound, ten dollar minimum, which it had been for years. This is in
Northern California.

Last Monday I bought some stainless steel sheet for $1 a pound, down
from $1.50 a few months ago.

Catcon needs a new heat shield.
