I see base metals up strong over the last couple days. Copper spot has risen nicely from $3.45 to $3.60. Aluminum is at 92 cents. I am liking this.

These are yard prices i believe.Originally Posted by DumbD
Aluminum @ .92/lb. ???
For the scrapyard or the scrapper?
I'm confused because I was just looking at scrapmonster (for first time),
and either I've been getting ripped off bad on brass OR it's quoting what the yard gets (???):confused:
I just told a guy his brass should be about 1.70-1.75/ lb. wherever around here.
Thanks.

kitcos price quotes are posted for the investment/trader/manufacturer dudes so they can follow all the metals in one place
the scrap prices you get at the yards follow the trend on those charts.....sometimes

I'll never complain about scrap prices again. I get 1.80# for brass and it's been at that price all summer.

|

$1.70# here for last 6 months.

According to Bloomburg there is currently a copper shortage and they expect prices to rise next year. Here is the link to the story: Copper Shortage Seen Extending as China Accelerates: Commodities - Bloomberg

Hopefully it will rise. I am sitting on about 800 lbs right now waiting for it to go up. I will probably dump it all when I can get $3 a lb for #2. Right now it is about $2.50 a lb.
|
That's my goal. I have a local buyer who will contact me when he'll offer $3/lb.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Wow!

Would expect prices to start rising at they yards in Jan or Feb maybe even March. First they have to recoup from the lack the past couple months
|

Wow, I never thought of that. I think I might contact all the buyers in a hundred mile radius, find out who pays the best, then ask him to do the same. I will probably be pushing a half ton by the time it gets there, so with this quantity he might go ahead and pay it when he is paying everyone else around $2.85 or so, that way he does not risk me possibly selling elsewhere.

My yard paid $3/# for #2 this morning. Too bad I only had 10#, but I had to get rid of 500# of steel which was filling up the little Frontier! Wayne, this yard is in Garland.... I posted a pic of my first ever scrap receipt a couple of weeks ago, shouldn't be hard to figure out who I'm talking about.
