    Patriot, When I am buying from HVAC companies, I pay 100.00 a net ton for everything but the roof units. For roof units I pay 5.00 a rated ton. Window units I usually pay 2X shred.

    Patriot - The problem with people telling you what they pay is that no one gets the same prices or has the same expenses. Importantly, you need to know how much of each material comes out of a unit, create an equation, and let the price you pay rise and fall with your expenses and the prices you can sell at.

    Thank you, your insight is greatly appreciated. I will buy my first scale since my son was wrestling. I hope to provide a more detail of the results in the near future.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    This is the type of information I was hoping for. Your insight as the master of this type of scrap is greatly appreciated.
