    Great article, thanks for sharing. I'm at sims three/four times a day for the last two years, i live for the hunt of scrap metal. i can't complain, nothing like being your own boss it's free money... best thing to do is stock pile all precious metals and kill it when price is back up!!!

    Pretty interesting. I love how people swore that the shredder was tearing their houses apart with vibration, etc., but the testing showed it was the train track, which I'm guessing was always there. What eventually ended up happening?

    They put the thing in next door to a residential neighborhood, and it was shaking the houses apart. After Omni bought it they tore it down and moved it out of state somewhere. Heck that might be where the one in NJ came from.

    Looking at the info I got from our buyers this morning, I'm seeing that aluminum is down in some cases, extrusion, wheels, and clips are all down by around $0.12 per lbs, but everything else is holding steady, and gold is slowly but steadily climbing back up. Some brass is up slightly ($0.04-$0.05), as well.
