    Yea all the remote buyers are paying $1/lb for cans. One is paying $1.10/lb to try and steal business. They take them to California where they get $1.80/lb

    The scrapyards only pay .38/lb but people still go to them. Not sure why.

    Wow, no wonder it costs so much to live in Cali. We're at 60 cents a pound here and that's pretty good. The highest I've seen it here is 70 cents. Can't believe that the yards in Vegas aren't at least in the 50 cent range. Something smells rotten...
