    I can't justify hoarding steel and I have the space to do it , when I have a truckload it goes in . I would rather turn and burn . Steel piles in my area get unwanted attention and I feel it's better to sell at these low prices than have someone steal it . I have turned down a few offers to remove steel items , after figuring in time and gas i would be lucky to break even on those hauls . I'm not knocking anyone who does . With the right amount of volume there is money to be made . I hope steel hits a record high this summer for all you guys saving it up . It should increase just due to the fact that I have sold mine . Usually how this works .

    Hobo - I imagine that $99 could buy more items to process or perhaps a new tool you have been eyeing up . Either one is better Imho than a pile of steel . I used to use my steel money for gas , now I'm lucky to get lunch or a pack of smokes .
