    I was just estimating biscuit I don't know the weights per foot nor do I want to know them. Good work looking it up though all I know is they would want 800 a ton for whatever he cherry picks out of the yard. He would have to be quick about it to some 20 ton loads of rod only take an hour and a half to cut up to three hours max. So he would have to act quickly or off to the mill it goes.

    I'm surprised there are still yards left that still deal with off sales. Wished I lived closer I would be a regular customer, good used iron is a lot more economical than buying new even after paying to have it cut to size.

    There is a yard in BC that specializes in mill crops.

    I save all the channel, angle, rounds, flatbar and plate of any usable size for pesonal projects, have a couple of tons sitting around the yard and would never consider selling. I still find myself buying the odd peice of new, even at todays prices for new still affordable.
