    If I could buy it, pick it up and drop it off and make 7k I'd bid. I mean $7k in a day.....worth it.

    Yeah on my end, my numbers are 35k. That prices is on the weights given. There would be some time involved in stripping the remaining amount of wire but there is some good money to be made there.

    ****...

    We should all pitch in and everyone gets paid a percentage of what they put in, I mean, everyone gets profit according to what they pitched in, thats not such a bad idea, like, if we had better advance notice, we could make large buys as 1 entity....

    How do you come up with that total?...The aluminum wire is acsr..which means it has a steel strand and only returns 67-68%...just curious.
