I travel to 3 local yards. Pretty much the same. There sheet steel piles are exploding in inventory. So something is going on!!! Every yard has its own market where to sell. Just happy to be able to sell it. I remember not to far back. Selling sheet steel for $50.00 a ton. Last edited by stinkypete; 03/30/25 02:10 PM.

He told me if the tariffs goes in effect everything will eventually bottom out for scrap because they will eventually run out of storage space . So, you are saying the price will drop, right? I asked the guy that buys and said you think the price has gone up because of tariffs. He said he doesn't think the prices will be affected that much in the steel industry. Because we are already paying the tariffs from most of the steel coming it. I don't know for sure what the deal is buy scrap has gone up this week here. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day.

So on that day the prices will be like a Brides nighty......and your not invited Saw at least 15 fully loaded semitrucks going to a smelter today...there was a 3 hour waiting time for them to unload. remember there is a 1M$ fee for non us ships loading for that metal to go off-shore now...which has created a bottle neck
