    A Scrappers Dream; Metal Prices

    I would like to ask members what the scrap metal prices are in their market as of now. I need the information for my latest project. If you could post your board price for prepared and unprepared scrap and location. If you do not want to disclose your location, please state the region, state, province, etc. Thank you for your help.

    Dakota's

    Unprepared $ 205
    Prepared $ 235

    80-175 for appliances
    120-175 for cars
    120-175 for shred
    135-190 for prepared

    all these are based on a 2000# ton
