It's usually sold by the tonHow much are you going to buy? It's usually more per ton for small quantities than it is for a mill runAnd if you are talking about very small quantities from the scrap yard, it's usually sold by the pound and the price would depend on your local scrap marketYou didn't say whether you wanted steel or aluminumThe price for aluminum will be different than that for steel and the weights per unit length will be different alsoFor budgetary numbers, you can figure the density of steel to be about 0.3 lb/cu.inand aluminum to be about 0.1 lb/cu.in 2 x 2 x 1/8 square tubing would have a cross section area of 4 - (1.75)? 0.9375 sq.inand a volume of about 11.25 cu.in per linear footSo a foot of 2x2x1/8 aluminum tube would weigh about 1.125 pounds and a foot of 2x2x1/8 steel tube would weigh about 3.375 poundsCheck a local scrap yard for the price per pound for aluminum or steel (depending on which you want), multiply that by 1.125 or 3.375 as appropriate and that will tell you how much a 1 foot length of 2x2x1/8 square tubing would beMultiply that by the number of feet you need and you will then know how much the 2 square tubing would be.
