    I like Copper

    Cleaning up after stripping circuit boards from some Test equipment , power supplies and network switches just took a load to local yard.



    876 lbs of steel @ .08 305 lbs of Alum @ .40 and 97 lbs of #2 copper @ 2.60, been breakin transformers big and small and it adds up. $444.00 this trip. REally just cleaning up around my place but can see it turning into more. Circuit boards two shippments @ 132 lbs and 320 lbs brought $561.00 and $1095.00 , paid $110 and $ 167 shipping , Guessing a lot of people start this way and then jump in ith both feet.

    Good job and nice load of boards. You always make more money when you break stuff down that's worth breaking down. If you don't mind me asking who did you sell the boards to?
