[TheForge] Metal Prices!

[Wesley Marquart]

Well all, 

 

I went out this afternoon to pick up a couple pieces of stock to use at a
Demo tomorrow


 

I almost lost my jaw by it dropping so far down!

 

For a stick of ¼” cold rolled square stock they are asking  $31.70 for a 12
foot stick!  The last couple of pieces (circa 2008) ran me just over $10

 

For a 20’ piece of 3/8” hot rolled square they are getting $27+

 

All I can say is that place is Nucking Futz!  

 

You guys seeing that sort of [extreme] price increases?

towards them. 

One fights, one flees, the third invites the guy to sit by the fire. 

The third guy did not live long enough to procreate.
