[QUOTE="eric, post: 75277, member: 7"] I sure haven't heard that! I just got a load from Jorgensen Steel, mostly cold rolled shafting, and I paid .84 a pound on 2000 pd order. This same stuff was .46.-48 a pound last summer. We dont use much structual steel (angle iron/pipe/channel), but I did see in the latest flyer I received that the same pipe I used on my fence has gone up from .89 a ft to 1.35 a ft., thats gotta be killing the fence builders. They also went up from $9600 on a 30 x 40 ft building, installed to $10,800 for the same building. I just cant see prices coming down anytime soon, especially since most of what we get is imported from overseas, and the transportation costs are just going up and up everyday. What is milled here in the states is subject to the skyrocketing gas prices to run the furnaces, so we get whacked either way. We dont honor any quotes more than 30 days old now, as that's as long as our suppliers will lock in a current price. I hope you're right as I have put off several projects for the cows, waiting for the prices to get a little more reasonable. [/QUOTE]
