plate glass cost question.

I have a source for a lot of plate glass that is o.25" X 11.5" X 29" and the lady would like to have some compensation for it. Would anyone have any idea what a fair price I should give her would be?
BTW, this is NOT float. I don't know if it is vertically drawn or if it has been polished. The only thing I know is that it does not have a "tin glow" when I put my lamp to it.
Thanks

It is probably polished plate. They used to double roll and polish 1/4" glass. I would offer her .30 - .50 per square foot unless there is some antique value to it. It is probably scratched. The good news is that if you enamel on it, you will fill the scratches and have a new glass surface.
I pay less that $1 per foot in case lots. Salvage glass should be cheap. I'd aim at the low number or lower.
