Your prices are pretty comparable to us here except we get creamed in the shred steel (1 place for miles & miles and we're at the end of the line for anybody using it for new stuff). Light steel dropped to $90/nt yesterday. Our insulated wire has two prices but to get up near what you made, it has to be heavier gauge. Everything else is 65 cents a pound.

#2 Ins copper wire was always around .83, .88, or .90 a lb until another scrap yard opened and had better pricing. Now they are competitively pricing. There is another yard closer to me that will only pay .61 for #2 ins wire
