Was an auction recently in Buffalo, MN where some scrap was auctioned. This was one pallet:
Pallet Of Misc Steel: 1- 10 Long 6x6" Angle Iron- 3/8" Thick, 1- 11' Long x 6x6 Angle Iron 3/8" Thick, 1- 8 1/2' Long 7" Channel Iron, 1- 74" Long x 10 x 3 I-Beam, 1- 143" Long 5" Channel, 1- 120" Long 5" Channel, 1- 104" Long 7" Channel, 118" Long 3" Round Steel 3/4" Wall, 1- 155" Long 5" I-Beam adn 1- 94" Long 4 1/2" I-Beam. 46 -- It sold for $230.
