New high dollar amount for one load.

I'd set a record last trip with a load of copper and brass - $750. Today, set another record - 2520 lbs of car parts and more copper, aluminum, brass and a couple of catalytic converters - $957.41.

Today's load:

Not broken. That's how it came new. Has a sliding back window. Never really noticed how dark it is. Just noticed that I'd made a mistake - it was 1520 pounds; not 2520.

Hard to tell. Some of the copper is stuff I've had around a couple years. Other stuff, I got this month. Some stuff I've still got is recent, too. I don't haul in any order; just get a load together and haul it in.

Way to go!

Nice haul Mick!

You don't do anything to prepare them unless you mail them to a buyer. Then you cut the pipes as short as possible to save mailing costs. Value varies greatly, by type. They go from a couple dollars for an "aftermarket" to a couple hundred dollars for exotics. You need to be very good at identification before buying cats. I thought I was pretty good and still misidentified an Aftermarket as a Large Ford because rust masked some marking. "Education costs".
