If you are looking for metal pieces for your ride or shop but dont feel like paying metal supermarket prices let me know. I have tons (literally) of small pieces of metal . Here is an idea of what I have. Cheap prices

-Diamond Plate mild steel 1/8- 1/4 inch  
-Angle Mild and some Alum- 1x1in,1 1/2x1 1/2in, 2x2in thickness 1/8,3/16,1/4in  
-Standard Channel- 4",5",6"7",8"  
-Pipe- mostly 2"-12" various lengths and materials  
-Square Stock- Various sizes  
-Expanded metals  
-Stainless bar 1/4in,3/8in,1/2in, 3/4in  
-Many more stock types just ask.

These are great pieces for making racks, jigs, stands, practice welding etc.

I also can cut to specific lengths if needed.

PM for prices and availablity.

Sorry about the delay but nyspeed was being really bitchy about letting me sign in at school yesterday or vise versa who cars.

Well to answer all the questions is yes I am a shop but a sheet metal fab shop in Buffalo that has just been collecting the cut pieces and so much other bullshit for years. I have gotten to the point where I really wanna clean shop so this stuff has got to go. Yes I could take it to the scrap yard but I would rather try to save all of you from metal supermarket.

The thing is I dont want a ton of traffic going through here during business hours. Thanks for understanding

The only thing I could possibly offer you in a full sheet would be something that is a little surface rusted or something new but I would have to charge you full price. But trust me full price will still be cheaper than metal supermarket.

Doesn’t have to be a sheet that big, just was saying I can’t load a full 8’x20’ sheet if you had some.

I’d be interested in any scrap smaller than 5’x8’… and larger than 6"x6"…  
Lemme know the price you’re charging /lb… and I’ll tell you how many lbs I can use :]  
at the moment now I can prob only take about a ton/ton and a half of it at most. depending on your price.  
Not enough space! But can never pass up cheap steel :]

I assume it’s all A-36?  
as long as there’s no mediums like 4140 or high carbons mixed in I don’t really give a fuck (actually, I would probably be okay with it since high carbons are big $$)
