How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Scrap Metal Guide had 45 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the one listing the month before. The catalog is now much more active, with a sharp increase in new offers compared to the prior month. That means buyers see a broader range of current prices, grades, or shipment terms in a single browsing session. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that appear similar.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all sellers have a long-standing presence on the platform. The group is stable and consistent, with every seller having a history of listings that can be reviewed. That means buyers can rely on a known set of suppliers, but there are no new names to consider. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.
