Per the other commenter, it's about 10x what steel costs. That's closer than I was expecting, TBH. Maybe that it comes in easily-cut wire form is a big part of what makes it desirable for thieves.

Margin is a funny way to put it, though, since there aren't really any fixed expenses. Like a lot of criminal goods, supply is restricted more by risk of getting arrested than anything else.
