What is the going rate for DOM tubing right now?

[The Luke]

Would it be worth it for folks to drive down to us in Cullman, AL if we could price it between $4-5 a foot?

That'd take a lot of tube to make up the cost difference in fuel and time for most people outside 1-2 hours. Maybe nobody will look at it that way. But unless you were buying a trailer full and/or additional parts, it'd be hard to make it worth anyones while. Granted, if I was a builder, and was buying it bulk quantities(30-50 sticks??) maybeee. But at that close of price difference, it'd probably just be eating into my profits.

Figured I'd bump this since materials of all sorts are on the rise (lumber, steel, copper...)

KGS in nashville is at $6/ft for 1.75x.120 DOM. I think I paid $4.80 a year ago.

I wanted to pick some up today but my supplier is having a hard time getting it in.

There was a metal supermarkets truck there picking up a big load. Their online price is like $13/ft.

I think we might be talking about different places. Or do you just mean those guys are buying it all and selling online?

Picked up one 1.75 x .120 DOM stick last week...$6.47 per foot. Didn't ask about qty discount pricing.

Where at?

 

[Waffle]

Everywhere I look when I google 1.75 .120 I see $8+ ft, but when I search online suppliers I see over twice that amount.
I mean, that can't be right but that's what I'm finding. Alro is $17.44 ft and Metal Supermarkets quoted me $17.83 ft by phone. Both places were for 1 stick.

I mean those guys are buying it at KGS too. Maybe the supply really is thin right now

I'll have to look into them. I usually go to hi-tech metals in linglestown.

I was looking for 65 sticks of 1.75" HREW last week - Besco was out of both HREW and DOM in that size and couldn't tell me when it'd be available again or for how much. Fun times!

10 sticks $4.49 a foot here in MO at EMJ
