You could make custom brackets to hold superchargers, skid plates, fire extinguisher holder, floor pans, or even a longer lasting tray. IE Click here.
So basically just about anything you want to make out of it.

I run a fab shop, but I have tons of the stuff.

Honestly , unless you find someone that needs that ecasct thickness it is only good for scrapmetal.

But by buying only what you need it is cheaper. So if i sounded rude I apoligize.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think it was rude. So do you think I'll get more if I take it down to the recycling center? It weighs a lot.

Same here.

It's too thick for use by a small shop or individual. Too hard to store and too hard to handle. If it were .090" or .060" instead of .250", it would have already been snagged.

And big shops buy in bigger quantity for a reduced cost.

While I would like to have a hunk of that sheet, the whole sheet just isn't feasible for me.

If you want 1/2 of it you'll have to cut it. I'll sell you half of it for $300.
