Mike, the steel prices dont vary more than 10% on a global basis, from Poland to the USA or China.
However they do differ more than 360% locally: when i buy at a farm equipment dealership close to my home, i once bought steel for 3.60
Though i could buy from the company i worked, for wholesale purchase price (plus 10% for use of the saw, and to cover the companies added cost for transport, stock and interest) which was near 1.00 at that time.
ooh great were the times i bought steel for 1 Dutch guilder per kilo... nowadays i buy it for nearly 1 Euro per kilo, which is 2.2 times as much....
