    In NewZealand (its a long way from anywhere)



    Light gauge is NZ$60 a ton. = US$40 a ton
    Cars are still $30 a ton. = US $20
    Coppers about NZ$5 a Kg = US3.35 a Kg.
    Ali is a bit over $1, maybe $1.40 at the most. = US$0.70cents

    I have some light gauge to take in, a few $ for petrol ( US$4.20 a gallon!) And to make some space around the house.

    I checked out a dumpster tonight, that I have profited from before. Its got some plastic coated wire and stuff inside.
    And two dead ducks (its duck hunting season right now)
    There a small chiller unit outside them too, so I will ask if I can get rid of the metal for them.
    If they say "Yes", they have before, I will get a couple of hours work and some nice metal to sell.

    And maybe some shelving units from a old display cabinet.
    I have to get a few $ to get me thru till Wednesday. (Its Sunday night right now)
