COst of steel at metal suppliers

For $2,000 why bother. Just order $2,000 worth of steel and have it dropped off over in the corner of the lot. You now own $2,000 worth of steel at today's price.

And what if the price has gone down?

And how do you make a profit from buying retail product at retail price?

I was being sarcastic as the original poster apparently knows little about the futures market and how it functions.

But wholesale or retail you make a profit the same way - buy cheap and sell dear.

Yep, really no clue.

I am just saying, if you buy retail, there is not much money to be made further. i

You are silly! I always have parts to make out of tool steel and try to keep a good stock of sizes.

Unless, or course you can find someone to pay more than retail :-)

And before you say "Impossible!" have a look at Starbucks.

But that is not "setting steel prices". According to your reference it is a case where the maker was selling in the U.S. at a cheaper price then he sold in his own country, referred to as "dumping".

Never give them anything except a recharge & change the oil every 90 days. Those are their first & second rights. They have no other rights. No Cable TV, No right to sing the blues...
