Wow! I've never seen it that cheap down here and we get most metals right out of Mexico. Especially the structural stuff like A36. We be gettin' the root! :confused2:4x8x1/4 = 330# = $0.545/lb
4x8x10ga = 177# = $0.45/lb
I havent priced 20ga......never a use for something that light, but a 4x8x20ga sheet should weigh...~48#....I'd be surprised if I had to pay more than $25 for a sheet of that at my local distributor.
Metalsdepot.com (which is always about twice as high as my local distributor), has 4x10 20ga COLD ROLL sheets for $70.
Metalsdepot always seems to be around $0.90/lb no matter weather its plate, sheet, bar, tube, beams, etc. Local metal shops/distributors are always the first stop when shopping for metal for me.

We're talking about the same stuff here, right? Cold rolled 1008 first run--No seconds?
Here's some 18ga. I used on a speedster body. This has been handled a lot and wiped with metal prep but it comes clean and shiny.
