    It was AR500 armor. It wasn't coated but it was curved. Seemed like it was around $40 or so. There were several guys selling it on eBay.

    This I can address accurately, as I deal with this stuff far more frequently than I would like.


    Yes. By about 75% in the last couple of years.

    I can't address plate carriers and that stuff (possibly why the price appears to have gone down?) but "raw" ar500 has gone through the roof.

    . . . a painful side note: Wanna turn ar500 into (functionally) mild steel? Weld on it, or cut it with a torch.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    well yeah, i suspect you are crazy. But your observation regarding the price of steel is correct.
