Not necessarily applicable for Ben but it does give you an idea of what stuff costs in other areas. I also like it because it gives me the weight and if I happen to be able to find what I am looking for in their "drops" area ... very well organized and indoors ... I have a clue what it will cost me as drops are by weight.

That is a lot cheaper, about $20 less. I wondered what the shipping would be and it is about $50 with $15 handling fee. That ate up my $20 lower price. I wish we had one of those around here. I may be able to find a lot cheaper steel supply around here eventually, I just have to keep on looking. Still the price I paid is better when it gets to my garage than I would have done with online metals and this merchant also. But you are certainly thinking along the right lines, now find me one in Houston.
