    ok i took some stuff in today

    i had the guy weigh the copper from the ac tubes first so i knew the lbs it was 16lbs of #1. the ali sheet was 11lbs so if thats true whats the percentage of weight in copper? it was a total of 6 rads. also he said i had to cut off the ends on ali rads i thought you could just leave them on? do you get a better price for cutting them off?

    breakage what is that? 26lbs it was a lawnmower block with everything still on it except the blade he gave me steel price why?

    26lbs of copper #1 got $41.60 has anyone else found a yard that gives you #1 price for ac tubes? all the other yards i went to just gave me #2 for them is this bad?

    9lbs copper #2 got $13.50

    11lbs ali sheet got $2.75 i thought you could get ali rad price for this i have before at a different yard that closed.


    prices are $1.50 a lb for #2 and $1.60 for a lb for #1 they seem to be holding what are the chances they will go up in the winter?
