Scrap price went up to $0.40 (used to be $0.32 - $0.35) per lb, but still not bad. Got three 2x2x18' square tubes in perfect condition, perhaps a little sag, hardly noticeable.

What are you going to re-arrange it to look like?

Nice source.

I have a place about 45 minutes away that sells some raw materials at heavy discount price, but not quite scrap price. Amazingly, I've bought tools by the pound there. I wanted some big drill bits and got like 8 of em for whatever price per pound. They were MT5 shanks to fit my lathe and radial drill press. I hated not having drills big enough to rough out parts when I wanted big holes to get an operation started.

I've gotten pallet-racks and other stuff there as well. It's quite a treasure trove of industrial stuff.
