    No kidding! The highest for me was only $210.00 a gross ton in the almost 4 years I've been doing this!!

    motors that are AL wire they buy them from the scrapper . When the yard becomes accountable the scrapper who might not of sold off some items while no body cared now might be stuck with what was not really true Copper
    AL is AL
    Us scrappers know the items well before others , we need to sell what we know will some day become true value of said item.
    Moral of story don't miscalculate and horde away items that you know are on the edge of truth . You can alway sell metal
    but prices for electric motors @ copper compared to Dirty AL @ true is a something you knew before others
    I have been trying to hold on to about 200lbs of copper but each time I clean out my yard, I just take everything. I would like to have a few hundred lbs at all times.

    What I feel is the way to approach, is see if other metals can shield the sale of copper , Short is good money - AL but some time the CU gota go - - - sucks - - -

    So push to Get more .
