    Remove any steel ends from Cu / Alum Raids or coils so you get a better price!
    As for a % divide the weights you have and you will figure it out.



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

    Breakage can be an item that has mixed metals (dirty), I would have gotten at least dirty cast alum price or Alum Transmissions price for the motor with the blade. He gave you steel price because he could...

    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?

    AC tubes (the copper line only) by me would be #2 copper

    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.

    Clean Alum Radiator by me can be clean sheet (alum) or clean alum raids price is about the same. No copper tubes in them correct?

    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?
    Better chance of you asking more questions than the price to go up! LOL
