    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.
