I buy steel all the time. certainly not at Lowes. its about $.90/lb for hotroll now.

edit: the issue is they only sell 'wholesale' quantities. 20' sticks, 4'x8' sheets

OK, that makes sense. I didn't want to have to deal with cutting the pipe myself and so I didn't even consider buying a larger size or anything like that.
