Copper is definitely one of my favorite metals to collect.

Bro, I was a teacher for 15 years and one thing you must learn, never turn down information even if its repetitive. Right now I am reaking in copper from the 34 crts I got and 6 more that I found.

It is easy to make more off steel than copper. It takes me about 2-3 hours to load 1500 to 2000 lbs of white goods and drop it off at scrap yard. Turns into $75-$100 per hour. Hard to strip 25lbs of copper per hour, especially when it is being pulled from CRTs.

I'm hoarding copper. I will save it until I need the cash. Since I get it free I lose nothing.

There may well come a day when copper is more practical, there for more valuable then Gold.
"anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"
That is great for you, but the average scrapper does not find/buy tons of clean ready to sell copper. Yes I love to see shinny copper, but there are many more profitable ways to spend time than stripping copper. As well as collecting materials that are worth more per pound than copper. Time is an expense most people dont factor into their profits.
If I dont have a clue what I am doing, then I must be faking it pretty good....This is my only job and all my bills are paid.

Dude, listen to yourself. You need to broaden your orizon. There is much you need to learn.

I totally agree with you. Copper is more available and widely used than gold. I am looking forward to that day.
