Non Ferrous Tickets.... - Page 2

Here was my latest haul. Only tool a pic of the stainless bucket. Didn’t realize that it was 113 lbs when I first lifted it. No wonder why it sucked lifting it to a 3/4 ton truck. The super magnet that they threw in my stainless bucket drew to some of the 304 SS and he tried to downgrade it to .05/lbs until I showed displeasure and then they shot it with the gun to confirm it was 18-8/304. Just was cheap import stainless for sure.

#1 was some welding cables that were shot. #2 was windings from a set of motors and copper from CRT yokes. BB was Romex stripped.

Here is the result from the AC/ool heater I picked up...

Power cords .25
Electric motors .13
Lead acid batteries .24
Sheet and cast aluminum.22

Todays Non Ferrous run. I didnt want to bring any brass but i grabbed a bucket to make it worth the while. They took a piece of my brakeage and said he would take it as dirty alum but gave me clean price. So thats why there are 2 alum on the ticket.

Less than a month of savings from the last post,^^^^^^^ Except for the copper. ran out of buckets so i sold one to fill back up

Well, I finally took another load in. Of course, I had a steel door I could have piled on but I forgot I had it, so it sits on the trailer for the next load (unless I throw it in the trash so it isn't just sitting around). I'll post a pic of the load and if you'd like, try to guess what I got paid for the load... I'll post the tic pic in a day or so. If you guess the closest, there won't be any money in it for you, but on your deathbed, you will achieve total consciousness.... So you'll have that going for you.

I see some brass in the front bucket... Looks like maybe copper pipe in the other bucket. See some insulated copper wire maybe in that 55gal drum? And then aluminum in the plastic trash can behind that? And the rest shred?

I'm going to say $186

My guests when I took the pic was $162. I had some copper I picked up at a yard sale last week. A ton of brass. Aluminum,ICW, transformers,batteries and shred.

Tree fiddy!

Well, it was a pretty good load...

Copper and brass got a nice bump the last few weeks
#1 2.15
#2 2.05
Brass 1.30

Everything else steady
Sheet/cast al 20 cents/lb
Ballasts .09
Compressors .10
Electric motors .12
Low grade wire .25

I dont know if these are actually classified as non-ferrous, but anyways......

And if your wondering about the tare, they put the gaylord box on the scale.

I decided to unload a bunch of brass I have held back as a savings account in case I needed quick cash. I didn't really need it, but I wanted to clear the place in the shop to make room to store more valuable items and supplies. I had a ton of brass (not really a ton, but you know what I mean). I wanted to clear out a bunch of other things.... mission accomplished. I can afford the good beer tonight!
