somebody local (way to high) or atleast somebody in state with a regular

Anyway, its no big deal getting quotes.Â* Just trying to find the right

I just received a response that made me wonder:

Good Afternoon Bob,
Would you mind sharing the end use for this material with me?

That was it.Â* No quote.Â* No response about whether they stock the size
or spec stock I need.Â* Nothing.Â* It struck me as odd.Â* So is there
something special about 4140HT that they would need to know, or is the
person responding just nosey?

Nobody else has asked what I plan to do with it.




Bob,

Could be that your usage is potentially in violation of something.
And as such he wanted to provide you with a legal alternative.

Or he is just wanting to start a relationship............. :-)

Maybe you should just lead him on and maybe get a free coffee.

Good Luck!!
