    yep...that is some BULSH$% right there (prices)....I won't go with the cases until I absolutely HAVE TO...and I am getting better prices than that. It is almost a loss against the other stuff you are scrapping (the boards). Sorry that was so crappy for you.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Wow, 2 cents a pound for steel? I thought it was bad at 4 cents here in the treasure coast. But the insulated #2 is about the same here.. That's what I'm buying it for but I almost feel bad, because it wasn't 6 months ago I was paying a dollar a pound...

    I'm getting 0.3/lb in Canada, which in USD is 0.02/lb. My aluminum prices and coppper prices are better though. 0.41/lb for aluminum in USD and 0.58/lb for #2 insulated in USD
