just go hack up some old trucks, and take them in, they'll give some money for them, then go take that money to buy your steel ;)

Places round here (Pittsburgh, PA) are giving about $6-$7 per hundred pounds.

P.S.  I've heard the steel prices are high because of the Chinese buying up all the steel they can get their hands on.  Damn Chinese.....
