Anybody know cheaper/better suppliers in the Mid-Atlantic region? These guys were always convenient but the pricing is a bit insane even for these times it seems.

What does that translate to, as a 4x4-ish sheet?

I haven't purchased steel in a while, but I hear the prices are "through the roof!"

Are those considered to be "good prices" today? I had no idea steel had gone up THAT MUCH!

Don't know what everyone is paying currently for steel. We switched to ordering in larger quantities to get better pricing. We typically go thru 300-500 4x8 sheets a year.
Just ordered (300) 4x8 16 ga CR for $41.60 each delivered.

That is a fact. Steel is LARGELY priced by how much you buy. One sheet might be $200, but 30 sheets might be $120.00 each! Gotta mortgage the house to get a deal on steel!

[Joe Jones]

holy crap. I guess im getting scammed. ive been paying 110 for a 4x8 sheet of hot rolled 16ga

They will give you a better price PER SHEET if you buy in larger quantities.
