Shop for a new yard that pays more. In fact you may want to check with one of our member/buyers. High Voltage Processing is in your area of the country but I don't know how close. His listed web site is not working but you can pm him through the forum. Mike.Quote:

Did you happen to take your wire to AAA Metal Scrap in the Strip District. I took some computer wire down there a couple of weeks ago, and that is what they paid me. Off topic, but FYI, AAA is the only place i've found in western PA that will buy low-grade circuit boards.Quote:

They were paying .10/lb for the low-grade. Not fantastic, but the best I could get without driving a great deal further away from home.
