I guess among people who horde metal, I am a high-roller, though I think I will horde some steel and aluminum as well. (Well I already have a stash of about 10 lbs of Al alloy). Crap steel is too tarty for my tastes, but sometimes, it comes in right useful.
A couple of years ago, I could have gotten you all the round bar inconel, particularly in 1.5", you could have needed. Sadly, this is probably no longer the case.
