Default Best deal......

Based on the mats available in the Mid West USA....

,,,,at $44.00 each it is not a bad price....... bringing them to Ottawa would bring the price up to $75.00 each..... and this is at cost..... no profit margin.

The shipping is the big problem.... heavy.... bulky at 10 feet adds another $20.00 each..... then custom PST/GST and the warehouse fee at the border and minimal fuel to bring them to Ottawa.

The owner, Roger, is a rather likeable kind of guy..... he suggested I take a drive down with the wife to see the Oklahoma country side, possibly take in a few tornadoes and he would load me up free. Not sure how many I could load up on the 5 ton float.....hihihi

Now the question......

...... is anybody interested at that price and how many.....

Shipping within Canada would also be expensive....trailering to TO is relatively easy.

..... and will not ship down under..... nothing personal....hahaha

Bob

hi Bill,
Just out of curiosity what are you using them for.
I have a few sheets here for over 10 years because I thought that they would be handy for something.
So far I have used them for tripping over, hooking what ever I am carrying when I walk past them.

One friend made a bike ramp out of it for his trailer, but it is heavier than the bike.

Cheers
Jeff

Also seen a few sheets turn up at Corowa over the years, they seem to fetch top dollar no matter how twisted and rusty they are, gone well before the official swap on Saturday.
Surprised Colin Jones has not started punching repro's out of his workshop.

Hi Bill,
also available from UK, drop these guys an email and they may be able to help, I used to see lengths at their yard a few years ago plus they other interesting bits of kit too !
They post all over the world and will calculate postage costs for you.... just need to ask that they ensure they are spotlessly clean so customs here dont lighten your wallet to the tune of 500 bucks for pressure washing !

Full lengths are available in Orange for $35 a length, got 10 at the moment if some one is going thru, I prefer 1/2 sheets as they are easier to handle.

Just to revive an old thread (because it's relevant to world pricing/availability), rather than an orphaned post in the "heads up to auctions" section:

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0320-...g-10-x-pallets

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0321-...g-10-x-pallets

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0322-...g-10-x-pallets

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0323-...g-10-x-pallets

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0324-...g-10-x-pallets

Group buy? Anyone want less than 500 mats? Currently hovering around the $2-$2.50ea range for straight rust-free lengths (I mean rusted through, not simple surface rust)

And didn't we have a discussion on the subject of the name being Marsden/Marston, and PSP meaning Pierced/Perforated Steel Plate? Can't find that thread.
