Discount metals supplier?

Some time back someone mentioned an online vendor who sold metals assortments for very reasonable prices- does anyone remember them?

Online Metal. Make sure you look up a code. They are very generous giving them out.

Ah I found one of them: www.hobbymetalkits.com
and a good site for K & S brass tubing: www.hobbylinc.com
I believe there was another place that had larger assortments of square alumimum shapes- don't recall

There is a vendor on eBay I use for Aluminum & Brass "6061dude" AKA "Stoner Tools & Raw Materials" his prices are fair and he usually has a good assortment of stock.

Hobby Metal Kits are Stoner Metals (both above) are the most reasonable. Online Metals has grab-bags that aren't too bad.

I placed 20-ish orders this past year, each time with a 20% off coupon. Mainly Aluminum and stainless. Great customer service as well (in my experience).

For titanium I like to use TMS.

Online metals also has something they call a protobox. You can pickup random drops of either aluminium, brass or steel in 5lbs, 10lbs or 20 lbs
It is all luck of the draw, this was 20lbs of brass I purchased a few weeks back

I recently placed a order for a piece of 4" OD 6061 aluminum at Xometry.com
I couldn't find a better price anywhere, Very fast shipping and I even got a follow-up phone call!

+1 I recently placed an order with 6061dude as well. No problems and the price was right.

I almost always check eBay first when I'm looking for material.
