    I just have a question that someone may be able to explain, If TSHTF (the poo flies) what is copper going to be used for, currently it is for wire,electronics, ect.. what good is it when there is no power, or if we go back to bartering for goods what is someone going to do with copper?

    The power supplies go with the towers to shred in my little operation

    Power supplies:
    My general rule of thumb - break down big piles of low value into smaller piles of higher value. Sell off piles with low value/high space requirements and retain piles of higher value/low space requirements. I break down stuff others don't believe is worth their time. If I'm making $6/hour, that beats $0/hour in my book.
