    CuproNickel? What is it WORTH??????

    I have a heat exchanger made of 90% Copper 10% Nickel. Weighs 33 pounds. Scrap yards are just wanting to pay around $1.50 a pound. this doesn't make sense to me. Does anybody know of a better buyer for this in Texas? Thanks..... for any suggestions!

    Here is a website I found that buys nickle alloys. http://www.nialloys.com/nickel_alloy...kel_alloy.aspx Be good just for pricing I would think. It says $.75 / lb I would think you should be able to get more then copper price seeing nickle is worth alot more then copper.

    Some places pay more for CuproNickel. Some quite a bit more. But around here you pretty much get #1 or #2 price for it. I hope someone can point you in the right direction because there is no need to get paid less than copper value for it.
