I would normally agree, but have you looked at the price per foot for VEX metal? They obviously haven't moved manufacturing overseas for these items but I am not sure they can get down to the $1 per foot range even if they do that.
It's currently
$40 for 6 feet of 1x1x1 C channel. (This is thicker sheet metal and not extrusion but I would think it's comparable.)
