We dropped a penny last Friday here in southcentral pa. Brass and aluminium stayed the same.
Do you go to the yard on North Ave. for that price? I'm at $195 in Elgin. $200 in Woodstock. $225 in Aurora. $80 in Crystal Lake! No that CL # is not a joke! Called 3 times and was given the 4 cents a pound#!!!Originally Posted by kazko67

No guarantees but lower prices often equal more metal due to less interested metal hunters .

Sheet iron by me holding at 170 a ton

Well I can verify this has already started. Down $20 a Ton today here in Central Indiana. We were sitting at $240/Ton.. Pd $220/Ton Today. Bummer!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
word has it the cause is china. they a opened a few new copper silver and gold mines so it means they wont be buying as much scrap .therefore its going to drop prices
Where do all these rumors start? Every summer it does this. You people want steady get a job. Prices going up and down offer the chance to make good money.
Gangel I have a very very steady job. Its called I contract for a large scrap yard. I am probably one of the largest scrap processors of scrap locomotives in the USA. We move insane amounts of weight on a daily basis. Since you answered in another post that a 40 dollar drop doesn't mean much to you then you can start by making out your checks to my business name you can private message me for my address. The rumors of the prices falling started this month with a 20 dollar a ton drop and then the prices kept dropping for export material through the month. Scrap is plentiful and the mills know there inventory and there books for finished products. The economy is expected to be lacklaster for the next two to three months with anemic growth of the GDP. They can drop there buying prices when they know they aren't melting much and they have enough scrap to last a while. Supply and demand.
This happens all the time this time of year. Is this truly a new concept? Nobody aroound here takes steel in for another 2 months. Now is time to buy and tear down while the sun shines.

With Luck fuel goes down so operating expenses go down a bit . Actually for a big operation lower fuel could off set the lower prices paid . All the rumors set aside seems that at the pump prices seem to set the price with a delay but none the less fuel seems to be king.

So, Walmart should shut down when prices go up? If your business model/plan doesn't include prices going up and down, something is wrong. And, I might add, the line about the steady was aimed at a steady paycheck. You knew going into your own business that you were going to make it or go broke. That's the whole point of starting your own business.

In theory lower prices should allow for less competition, for the small scrapper or curb hunter type . The price paid or price at pump coupled to finding effect who I have to compete with.
BUT for PistoneScrapProcessing
a drop in price must be intense , a measurable loss not easily fixed by just finding more .
