    This Weeks Haul

    940lbs shred @ $225NT ($105.75)
    23lbs yellow brass @ $1.90lb ($43.7)
    19lbs EL motors @ .17lb ($3.23) Most of these were transformers, they don't differentiate between the two
    18lbs #2 Insulated @ .87lb (15.66) Felt I got shafted on this, all of this was extension cords
    46lbs Old Sheet @.49lb ($22.54) Most of this was cast/extruded (heatsinks/HD platters) again they dont differentiate between these.

    Total $190.88



    Not to bad considering all the shred was from my back garage. I like the shred, brass price, el motor price, but I'm going to find another yard to take my insulated wire. Seems like that is waaaaay to low for the recovery on the cords. Also have to check to see if other yards around me offer more for extruded/cast, or if they just group them all together. Any feedback would be appreciated. By the way I took the money I made and bought some e-scrap off craigslist. I'll post some pics and quantities tomorrow after I get everything sorted. Not a ton of weight compared to some of the big boys on the site, but I'm about a month or so into the game, give or take a week.
