    Saying hi

    Helped a neighbor haul some copper pipe and after hearing what it was worth i started researching, which of course eventually led me here, this was a few days ago been reading and making bins since, worked on a few electric motors striPped some wire, hunted some brass, now i have to have at least 20# of each, been unemployed since i cut some fingertips off in a machine shop, so i definitely have the time. Plan on sticking to motors/copper and brass as well as selling boards...still looking for info on selling boards btw. Thanks and cool site

    Depend on what they came out of, only certain boards have any real value. Others are worth around .50-.60 a lb. Use this site for the pics of the different boards, but try to use one of our buyers here on the forum.
