In ur number 2 bucket the copper thicker then a pencil lead from the transformers if its not aluminum is Copper #1
And your high grab board with the lcd display is med grade board :-p
Otherwise good video lots of wildlife out there.
Yeah, that's the stupid scrap yard I use, they won't consider that wire #1 copper. Not that that's the only thing they will cheat you on if they can get away with it. Thanks on the board as well, I haven't done any e-scrapping yet, just collecting stuff.
If you have enough then it would be beneficial to find a better yard, why does so many people go to a yard that they know screws with their prices then jump on here to complain???Quote:

I look at it this way, they don't need my business that bad if they try to steal a couple of bucks worth of scrap. There's too many other yards around that want my business.Quote:

I turned in some copper that was thicker than a whole pencil and they have me #2 copper because it had a film on it.
This is why im glad i shop around and ask questions. i have yards like the ones you mentioned. i dont bring my stuff there. If you have a rail road in ur town thats the best place to look for best scrap prices. Or major shipping ports.
That's exactly the reason, when the copper has a coating on it, they don't except it as #1 copper. I suspect if it were 0 gauge copper wire, I could probably convince them to make it #1 no matter what as long as it was clean of dissimilar metal (bronze, steel aluminum, etc.).Quote:
