Guys who sell, what size stock do you use most?

So I have a few friends, smaller companies approach me for suspension parts, side by side parts and other things mostly automotive or recreation.

I went to my steel supply and bought 1/8”, 16g and 20g sheet with some 1/2” and 10g scrap pieces.

But I don’t have the funds or space to house every thickness of metal on hand.

What are the most common or sheet sizes you keep on hand for stock and products?

I figured the sizes I bought would be the most common but I’m curious on what is actually most used or common for stock to keep on hand.

I like to keep these materials racked at the shop pre-cut into 48 by 32-in pieces for my crossfire pro.

14 ga mild steel
