Can anyone point me to some online prices for bearing bronze?
I often do (paying) jobs using existing bits of stock, if it's just an
odd piece I'll usually just pick a number out of the air for the
price, but if it's getting in to tens of pounds I'd like to know that
I'm charging somewhere in the right ball park.
There seems to be a dearth of online prices to take as a guide,
probably because prices are volatile. I thought RS might be useful but
they seem to just keep some rather obscure sizes.
What do others do? work on weight?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks for that, ball park is all that I'm after so I can be fair to
myself as well as the customer.

Thanks for that, I'd already found their page for cored bronze, which
has no prices. I see that the page for solid rounds is priced.

I quite often use John at Folkestone Engineering, good service and for
model engineer quantities his pricing seems pretty good.
