I found this and thought it might be useful to some. Explains most of the steps pretty well compared to some other sites.

Avg. retail is about $55 per sq/yd right now. 5 years ago before the large military and Airbus projects came around, it was $21 per sq/yd. Most of the reason for the hike is the availability. It's just not as easy to find for commercial use anymore.
