Just thought I would share my prices I got today

Sent in a small load today (Central NH). Needed to head to the area anyways and figured I would pack my car full (since gets good mileage).

77 Lbs Extruded - $0.55 = $42.35
94 Lbs Old Alum - $0.45 = $42.30 (mixed clean alum)
21 Lbs Shop Wire - $0.80 = $16.80 (cords)
13 Lbs Copper/Alum - #1.10 = $14.30
115 Lbs Batteries - $0.25 = $28.75
7 Lbs Brass - $1.55 = $10.85

Total of $155.35
Gas was around $14.00

I know I could of got more $ if I went farther south but did not have time.

I hate driving so far but local prices are terrible. I know one local scrapper just got $2.19/Lbs for #1 Copper at a local yard. He had about 300 pounds of it. Wish he told me because I could of given him more.

around here copper was 2.40 a lb for a while

$155/gt light iron
and quoted .04/lb on 1 1/2 tons of cast iron.
a little better here, but you said it best. Head South
