    Yep hang in there... Sheet iron was 230 net ton $.115 lb. in 2012 and $15 net ton $.0075 lb. in 2000! While $.115 a pound for steel was great, it was gone as soon as it hit the curb, dumpster, dirt or street! Now with lower prices it sits around for awhile so easier to find and get!

    Better than the dump!

    It could be worse. Silver was almost $50 an ounce in Spring, 2011. Now it is $16.01 (per kitco.com).
