    second wale on the line WOW!

    Just got another call back on my phone fishing expidition of last week, but my fishing rig may not be big enough for this one.

    app 1000 lb #1 insulated and #1 bare for between .75 and $1.30 i'm thinkin $1.00 and strip it. and get $3.55.

    This account says he can supply 1000 lb per month.

    but I have a cash problem to solve.

    That would be a super sweet deal if they were to get you 1,000 pounds a month. maybe he well let you grab a couple hyndred pounds and come back in a few days. I would do everything it takes to get this fish landed. Keep us updated.

    Might have to liquidate some scrap you have setting around to get some of the operating capital you need,,, Overall, be honest with them, don't try to BS them, it'll bite you in the a*s every time.

    Congratulations, Olddude. That's the kind of deal I've been trying for.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Be careful of your pricing. The LME price for copper is falling like a rock. If you're depending on quick turn over to fund more acquisition, you could put yourself in a bind. Copper just went below $4 where it had been over $4.40 for most of July. Scrap yards will follow suit.

    Thats great! But I would move it as fast as you can. The prices are droping on most metals. I was glad to get $200 a ton for steel today as I think that it will drop big time soon...
