  I see a supply place listing reject plywood in several thicknesses, 3/4" = $30. sheet, I may have to call and ask why rejected. I want to build a 12' x 24' storage loft in a back corner of my new pole building so will need 9 sheets, just needs to be sturdy enough for walking on.

Sometimes out of square, I've used it, just a little more work or adding a scab or two for something to nail to. I would not use it on a house build unless your planning on squaring them up and adjusting the spacing on your framing to match.

Lumber and sheet good prices appear to be dropping. Looks like I can get 3/4" CDX for $45/sheet locally. It was up around $80 a month ago. Maybe wait a bit before taking the guy up on his "deal" to see what happens.

I've used it quite a bit. The reasons for calling it "reject" or "degrade" vary. End(s) cut off-square, saw cut into one edge, edge damaged by a forklift fork, crushed corner from being dropped. The most common problem I encountered was a strip missing from a surface ply -- rarely more than an inch wide, sometimes running the full length of the sheet.

I didn't buy it if I couldn't have a look first.
