Looking for small, single-piece quantities of metals, mostly
non-ferrous stuff. Does anyone have a favorite US-located vendor that
they'd like to suggest? (or, to suggest to avoid)?

I have used
http://www.metalexpress.net/cgi-bin/...075e63568f6ff4
for many years with satisfaction.

Oh, that's _very_ nice; they've got a location with a willcall window
about 10 minutes away from here, and it's on the way home from work.
Thank you.

OK, with the caveat that I've only used these guys for ferrous
stuff, I have used and been satisfied with the following vendors
on ebay (some also have non-ebay stores as well):

alrodropcenter
http://stores.ebay.com/Alro-Drop-Center

speedymetal
http://stores.ebay.com/SPEEDY-METALS-1-888-744-4140

united_specialty_alloys
http://stores.ebay.com/united-specialty-alloys

Also, I have not used these guys yet, but may eventually as they
seem to have a pretty good selection in the sizes of stuff I'm
looking for:

danvillesteel
http://stores.ebay.com/Danville-Steel-Express

If anyone here has used them, I'd like to hear your experience,
they don't have a lot of feedback yet.

good selection and low prices.

Taking a sample of 1: brass round 1" x 48" is about $4/lb (including
shipping). If you're willing to by 6' and your order is $50 or more
(free shipping), Enco's sale price is about $2.75/lb

Metalexpress.net is good. Have a look at their "value packs".
