Peer-to-Peer Surplus Steel Brokerage Network
SteelTrade connects fabricators, machine shops, and manufacturers who have surplus steel with buyers who need hard-to-find specs — without minimum order constraints. You tell us what's on the shelf. We do the rest.
Learn About Founding MembershipThe process
We built SteelTrade for shops that don't have time to manage another platform. Getting started takes two minutes.
Send a quick description and a photo of your surplus — grade, spec, quantity. List as many items as you have, any time you have them. No listings to build, no platform to learn.
Douglas Weaver — with over 40 years on the engineering side of steel fabrication — personally matches your material to verified buyers who need that spec.
Deal terms are agreed, the Transaction Agreement is signed, and material moves. Seller pays a fee on completed deals only. No sale, no fee.
Quality Standards
Every listing carries a clear grade so buyers know exactly what they're getting. No surprises on either side of the deal.
Inspected, spec-accurate, documentation in hand. The highest confidence tier.
Good condition, grade verified, minor surface variation. Reliable working material.
Usable material. Buyer accepts condition as disclosed. Priced accordingly.
Below standard but still worth moving. Priced and disclosed as value recovery only.
Founding Membership
The first 50 members receive founding-tier benefits that will not be available once the platform opens. This cohort is capped. When it's full, it's full.
Fill this out and Douglas will follow up directly — usually within one business day.
