Anybody bought new steel since the C-virus outbreak? I need a couple sheets for job and was wondering if the China shut-down had affected prices any.

Last week I bought some angle iron. 9 ft piece of 2" x 2" cost me $25 for the metal and the cut.

yeesh, I get most of mine out of neighbour's dumpster and barter snowplowing for long pieces of steel.

I expect drywall,grains and other rail shipped goods to go ^^^^^UP due to Indian blockades.
