    #2 Copper: 3.37
    Cu degaussing wire: 2.71
    ICW #2 35%: .89
    Cu yokes: .68
    Cast aluminum: .46

    Apart from my daily listed price, in quantities over 15000lbs am currently paying premiums for most lower grade wire apart from jelly wire. For example at today's copper price would buy ICW #2 50% (Cat 5/6 mixes and like) at 1.54

Also added a new item, molybdenum (currently $9.25/lb for modest quantities, can go substantially higher for quantities over 1000 lbs). Current price for quantities of cat-5/ICW #2 50% over 15,000 lbs is $1.73/lb).

    Cu #1: $4.00/lb
    ICW #2 35%: 1.03
    6061 Al ext: .82
    Ins Al wire: .45

    I don't update this sheet everyday because there is only one forum member I currently buy from with any regularity - though I have bought over $100k in non-ferrous from them since roughly September! - but with the continual bumps of copper I'm buying #2 copper over $4/lb for the first time in my career. Some of you have been in the business much, much longer than me and might remember the last copper spike but this is a first for me. Even bought low-grade wire over $1.15 today. What a ride recently!

    Ain't that the way it goes? If you do happen to save up close to ftl quantities though, reach out and I'll give you a quote for everything picked up and will pay the freight

    Pricing updated! Even with the recent copper drops our pricing is still a little higher than when I last updated two weeks ago. Couple of sorta announcements. Boosted the pricing on both copper transformers and insulated aluminum wire, especially the transformers. Have a new outlet and believe I'm competitive anywhere nationally at .67/lb right now. This applies to Cu transformers over 1lb only! Al/Cu transformers are around half that price but still higher than the breakage price they normally get. Also starting to buy 5000 series aluminums at pricing much higher than MLC. Lots of stuff at high water prices since I've been scrapping including lead and 316 stainless. As always, add .02/lb for full gaylord quantities of anything over .45/lb and be in touch for quantities over 10,000 lbs. Some current pricing samples below:

    Insulated aluminum wire: .42
    Aluminum rims clean: .76
    5052 Aluminum sheet/plate/clip: .88
    316 stainless steel solids/sheet: .80
    Soft lead clean: .60
    Servers complete: .60
    Cu bare bright: 4.08
    ICW #2 45%: 1.44

    Big news! I'm no longer in the e-waste business, at least not at a significant level. Our non-ferrous and ferrous business has picked up to such a degree that e-waste disassembly and e-commerce is less beneficial than spending time recruiting and servicing non-ferrous and ferrous clients. Sometime in the next 2-3 weeks will ship out my last foreseeable big circuit board load. I will still happily buy e-waste but only to flip as is locally and not at pricing competitive with most of the forum members. I'm happy to connect you directly with the places I previously sold e-waste to or my CRT recycling contact.

    Below are some non-ferrous prices for today. Copper has dropped a bit since my last update here but some aluminums are jumping quite a bit!:


    Copper #1: $3.75/lb
    Romex: 2.20
    ICW #2 35%: .93
    EC Wire: .96
    Al litho: .78
    5052 solids: .94
    6063 bare: 1.01
    316 stainless: .89

    E-waste has a much, much higher ceiling here in Las Vegas due to a relative lack of competition and greater than scrap value's extraordinary margins but simplifying was the way to go for me. Commercial scale peddling and brokering the occasional truckload is easy work once you build a base. It doesn't make me a ton of money but it makes me enough to not struggle every day and doesn't occupy my mind after hours. And that's a fine life.

    While I have yet to physically sell any scrap to JJ, I will say that we have had an excellent, mutually beneficial business transaction. Assisting fellow members, even 2600 miles away, with client relationships has its benefits.
    Thank you JJ and I will be sure to be on the look out for more opportunities.

    Pricing updates! Also added a new item. Starters, alternators and AC auto compressors we're now buying at .37/lb in quantities over 500lbs. Other auto aluminum breakage like water pumps and such will be bought for less than half that price. Copper pricing dropped significantly last month but has rebounded to August levels. Aluminum pricing keeps rising. Some examples below.

    Cu #2: 3.74
    Cu transformers: .60
    Al/Cu transformers: .26
    Al 6063 Bare: 1.21
    MLC: .78
    Ins Al wire: .57
    Soft lead: .69
