The higher the stability of the market, the more cash you get. However, prices per piece of metal rapidly drop off in cost and many times Metal just isn't worth taking

Metal is so cheap that I do not bother looking for the best deal.  I just sell metal looted at the nearest market.  If I have the space, it is a matter of "Why Not?"  Obviously, metal is among the first to go when I run out of space and need to dump something to loot something better.

Me too.
I have noticed though that places that make metal take longer to drop off to zero. I suspect because there is a high demand for metal from that location. So if you have oodles of metal you want to off load all at once doing it at a market that makes metal will be non-zero the longest.

Chicozomatoc can have such an incredibly high metal shortage that you can sell thousands of metal without the price degrading much. It's definitely worth offloading metal there and picking up supplies/hand weapons.
