I hope for his sake and the rest of the southern Virginia scrappers, that he's talking about #2 copper wire "insulated" at $0.38 a pound. If not I hope that down trend stays in Virginia!

we were getting .20 lb for electric motors. It stayed that much for the last 3 years until 2 weeks ago, when it went to .10 lb. The story from the yard guys was that they waited a long time to take in their motors and only got .12 lb. What a loss! So I imagine it'll be a slow climb back to .20 lb
Here irony aluminum pays MORE than electric motors. Makes no sense, so my motors that have any aluminum attached at all go in irony now
