    .50 a pound for brown boards is really good actually....and some actually PAYING for CRT's...HOLY FRIGGIN #$%^!!

    The rest may suck, but that is the silver lining!
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Wait a minute, unless someone edited my original post, .05 in my world, means 5 cents, NOT 50 and .08 means 8 cents, not 80

    Unless it was changed OR I was about half asleep (certainly a possibility) I would have swore it said .5 which is .50/lb for brown board....again it could have been me, but I know I looked at it 2x I thought since it was so **** much for brown board...I normally get .10/lb but we will see on this load (granted I am going anyways and have already stripped them of anything easy to get)
