I would never pay that much for a sheet of cold rolled steel.

That's almost double of what we pay for stainless. Wow.

WOW! A 8'x4' CRS even here in Australia costs only around $50 US.

Yes that is about right. I think the last time I purchased any sheet CRS I paid $48.00. People who pay those ridiculous prices for items are the cause of the high prices.

The difference between $50.00 a sheet versus $300..00 a sheet (for the same product) has nothing to do with covid. It has to do with greed and peoples willingness to be a part of that greed. It is only $300.0 a sheet from that supplier because people buy it from that supplier at that price.
Look around lots of places where it is cheaper for the same product. I can find it out of Calif. for half the price. Took me about five minutes of internet searching. That being said I would not pay $150.00 a sheet either.

IT's no fun posting on here when people are only going to chew you up and spit you out.

Hi Dave,
I am seeing the same for 3/4" birch cabinet ply, just yesterday. $87. per.

Quality Down, prices UP.
And the 1" flooring ply - WHOA - over $120. per.
And this is US NorthWest production ....

Hey, don't sweat it. You figured you were helping someone find some 19 ga. Perhaps you didn't realize it was so overpriced. Guys were shocked and posted. Let's get back to shaping and relax.

Kent,


Yes lumber prices are very high and have been for over a year now.
No idea why, every mill I see between Portland Oregon and Olympia Wa.

has all kinds of timber to mill. Lots of trucks hauling lumber up and down I-5 in my area so lumber is being delivered. So I don't get the high prices
Some people blame Covid but when the mills slowed down because of Covid lock downs so did building, so demand fell. As lock downs eased building picked up but so did mill production. So I don't think there was ever a shortage of lumber. Maybe a shortage of truckers but damn there are lots of trucks on I-5, that never slowed down from what I see.


What is a sheet of 20 gauge CRS going for in your area??
