Reply:Probably an overrun from a mill order.  I try to order decimal thickness when I can since the price from the mill is better.  They usually have a 20 ton minimum to do a mill order.  Someone probably didn't need the extra plate, but the cheaper price justified the extra weight.Long story short: Yes, odd thicknesses aren't that rare.  No, you shouldn't buy it, since you're getting robbed at $0.80/lb.

Reply:$0.55/lb is a number I've seen recently, but we go through a lot of plate.
