Not only on alloys but on many things it seems Midway is on a quest to see how fast they can price themselves out of buisness. I'd say Midway is a good example of get successful and get greedy. I've spent thousands at Midway but not a dime in the last year, there are other online stores that have yet to get as greedy as it seems Midway has. Midway has a great web site that can be used to see what is available from any given mfg, then go someplace else to buy it cheaper. Shipping at Midway is also quite high.
Shame about Midway, it was great while it lasted.
