    Okay so the selection is limited. No square, no round, angles and sheets only it seems.

    I asked him for 2 sticks of 2" x 1/4" angle, one 4 x8 sheet of 1/8" and one 4 x 8 x 1/4" plate


    $81.00

    Does that seem right?

    Does about 600lbs sound right? I am trying to figure the moving of this stuff myself.

    Grinsha minimally sufficient

    Should be around 330 lbs

    Chris that is a much more specialized order.

    I am probably getting something that didn't make it through QC a they can't put whatever rating on it.

    Grinsha, your right. I had asked him and he said ~600 must have been for all of it. That is still probably on the heavy side.

    Your right. It's for items I need to finish up a smoker I'm building. You seem to have got a good price, I'm VERY sure mine won't be as reasonable:rofl:
