I'm curious. I've seen you mention deflation a couple of times now. Deflation is negative inflation, as in the costs of living, or purchasing goods decreasing, in effect increasing your purchasing power with the same amount of money. As this is completely opposite to what I myself am experiencing (and I don't see others experiencing anything different), could you maybe specify what exactly you're referring to?
As for the referenced article; as it's simply a guesstimate of what the total value of mid-grade boards might be once completely, totally recycled, with 100% recovery of all values, with absolutely zero associated costs accounted for; I really don't think it should factor too heavily into anyone's pricing schedule. If moron newby scrappers take it as gospel, let them run with it and buy up and process everything in sight. Then, once reality hits and they go broke, come to their bankruptcy auction/garage sale and make some decent $$.
