Rolled galvanized sheet...what should I offer?

[meanjoe75fan]

'Kay, so I headed down to the local scrap yard for the purpose of getting metal for an underbody tray...also, perhaps to make more permanent versions of the grille blocks I currently have in blue foam.

Nobody who would give me a quote was there (too late), but I saw some of their "choice" scrap out front. In addition to a few stainless "surgical scrub sinks," I spied (I'm guesing) 4'X10' of rolled, galvanized steel...probably 26ga. (much thicker and it couldn't be rolled).

So, I'm unfamiliar with scrap costs. I imagine they'll want more for this, simply because it's (relatively) unmolested, but can anyone hazard a guess at price?

Galvanized is something like $3.00/cent I think (per hundred pounds... cent = hundred)

It's really cheap stuff, usually. They'll probably want sheet goods price for it, though, if it's in good condition.

A 4x10 sheet probably weighs about 100 lbs (seriously guessing here), so maybe $4 or $5 is a good price for it? I wouldn't go any higher than $10, probably. You can get much smaller pieces from people basically free to make what you want.
