Even at todays crazy material prices that piece of aluminum would be $6.25 delivered from my local supplier.
Even McMaster is only charging $15 for 6061 this size. ����*

From the sticky above...
3. Do not bother someone unless you actually want to (or may want to buy it).
11. If you are only interested in trolling it is not welcome.
So which one of you self appointed Price Police is buying it?
Ive learned when dealing with McMaster their prices arent always right. I ordered a piece of 932 Cord Bronze. Price showed one thing on their site. When to call and order it and it was $40 more. LOL
I've never heard of that happening, if it did, it would be a one off deal i'm sure.
So that's how you priced the Bar? You looked on the McM site saw it was 8974K18 at $15.50, assumed it must be wrong and priced it at $35
BTW certs with a traceable lot number is availible from McM for that material.
You got certs for your material?

XX. Do pricing research before posting material and parts at above normal retail, otherwise you risk scorn and humiliation.

I feel neither scorn nor humiliation. I just know what ive sold similar drops of this same length and diameter for $35 shipped. Thats the only reason it was priced this way. I didnt sell my last drop here. It was sold on facebook machinist group.
LOL a hobbyist machinist and his money are easily parted. I can somewhat understand that, if the hobbyist doesn't know about McM or other sources, and only buys small qty's of material every year, then they could well find ebay/FB conveniant and not quible at the price.

Somebody did come into my shop a while ago and looked at my rem rack, I throw nothing away, he said I'd be surprised what people will pay for rems on ebay.
I read OK and to me at least, rule #11 seems to very clearly state that it's OK to let somebody know they're off their rocker if you do it in a constructive way.
