I needed 4 of 120x120mm 6mm thick plates.
Checked ebay - bargain at £8 each so £32 for the four:

Then I checked Brundles and discovered that I could get 6 metres of 120mm x 6mm for £33 including VAT, so twelve times the amount of metal for the same money!

Picked it up today (borrowed their electricity to cut it into trailer-sized lengths) but they deliver for another £12.
So, it may sound obvious, but don't overlook checking wholesalers even if you just need a little bit of stock!
