Price check

Newbie here,



I’m looking to get into scrapping copper and aluminum. How often do prices change for #1 copper(for example) and how often do you check?Do you call the scrapyard every day?

thanks

Call a few yards in your area and get prices for a few items. Then as it gets closer to turning stuff in call and see what they are paying. I check steel prices once a month as prices here seem to be locked in for awhile on steel. As for the "good stuff" prices can change almost daily depends on the yard you go to.

That's my concern for the "good stuff"..I'd like to time it as best as possible.

Let me check my crystal ball.

Any threads here that users post regional prices?

Mthomasdev, when you borrowed that from me I said you could use it only for a few months.

I want my ball back.

No, I actually have 2. What I should have said was that my wife wants my ball back.

Where do fortune tellers dance?

At the crystal ball.
