What are you paying?

Square tube (in my experience) has always sold at a substantial
premium to hot rolled steel.

In SoCal we pay about 50¢ a pound for hot rolled shapes.

Well, I called on a price for hot rolled stip, and it's at $0.90 a pound. A
little less than the tubing, but still quite a bit more than you are paying.

I'm going to have to find out what's up with this.
