Holy Sh!tty Prices Batman!

Just went to the yard and had noticed the prices dropping on everything so I asked for a price list to see if there was anything I should take note of. Mobos down to .35/lb! WTF! I've gotten the impression they want whole units for a while because the price of everything but HDD has dropped significantly over the last year while they still pay .20/lb for whole computers (they don't check for HDD, so there's a little loophole there). My fave scale guy kind of gave me a hint on the weekend when he pointed out it wasn't profitable to break them down, to which I said "not any more" because mobos used to be 1.75/lb and right there it was worth my time. Now, he's definitely right; I will still pop em open and take the CPU, RAM and cards, but nothing else anymore!

I meant to add some other prices but had to deal with a customer at work...

low grade motors (plastic, wood) .05, motors .15, Al .60 (with paint), Cu 2.40-1.90 BB-#3, taps/faucets .75, ballast and compressor .10.

At this point it's not worth breaking down much except anything that takes 30 seconds or less!

My finger cards dropped .70/lb
My Power Supply Boards dropped from .47 to .28
Steel is a dismal $90/ton and on top of that my yard shorted me at the scale on the last drop. Talk about adding insult to injury!
Darn near everything is dropping like a rock.

I've pulled my "Pay for Computer Scrap" ads off CL, basically- If I can't get it for Free right now.. hardly worth getting.

Shred is $25/Ton here. I have two pallets of computer cases to take in, but they'll sit until I'm taking a truck to town anyways. I can't even cover my fuel costs at these prices!
