My "New and Improved" pricing on 10ga is $75.11 and for 3/16" it's $113.58 (both 48"x96") I haven't checked on any other sizes lately.
This is about a 35% increase over last month. Rumor has it there may be another 25% increase by June. <ouch> I've noticed the same increases in my bar and tube stock also.

Getting bad here too

4 X 4 X 1/4 tubing price jump in one day $5.75 -> $7.75
