btw its red iron oxide powder that i would like to know

It depends where you buy it and how refined/processed it is - and also how much of it you want to buy/sell. The compamy I work for pays arround £1.50 - £2.00 per kilo of RED iron oxide powder - nicely processed into 25kg bags and it comes on a pallet of 1000kg (I think the particle size is arround 30 microns mean size). Other suppliers charge alot more for different grades with surface treatments and or finer particle sizes or tighter size distribution of particles, or better intensity of colour from the pigment. I've seen it as much as £6.00 per kilo. (I think the £6.00 per kilo stuff was for 250kg lots and it gave a more intense/brighter red - so it really does depend on quantities)

 

Hope this helps.

the Grade is important, Cosmetics grade would cost several orders of magnitude more than Thermit/Pyro grade stuff

Crude iron ore and the stuff made as a by-product of aliminium making are probably even cheaper.
