If I was to buy steel at a metal supplier, in the quantity of a ton or
so, how much would it cost per lb? I mean metal such as hot rolled
rounds 1-3 inches thick, 4140, rectangular solid stock etc.

I want to price my 15 tons of steel below market, and I want to know
what "market" really is.

thanks

New steel averages $1.10 per pound hear in las vegas. No discount for
how many tons you buy. My supplier has a scrap bin you pick that they
sell for .50 per pound. They will deliver for free if your order is over
$300, they also offer one free cut if your buying full length mill stock
typicaly 20-24Ft per piece.

Your gonna have to buy at scrap yard or below prices to make a
profit.

IU bought it for3 cents per lb
