Metal SuperMarkets - not stocked (they are in Dallas but are way $$)
McMaster - not stocked (1/8" wall is 3x the price of local dealer)

Thanks for info!
The cost is highly dependent on the weight of the order at most places. The more you buy the cheaper it gets. You should be able to get around $2 per pound if you place a pretty good sized order.
