Current Columbus Ohio Prices as of 3/9/12--Post here to see prices across the usa!

Three different yards pricing for a few materials. Post here to see what other yards are paying around the usa!

bare bright: 2.75, 2.90, 3.50
number 2 cu--2.65, 3.10
Al extrusion--.45, .50, .63
loose sheet steel--250 net ton
whole autos--260 net ton
308 stainless--.63 & .50



All different when I called around yesterday. Greedy bastards--I'll wait a little while longer on my cu lol.

I called 2 yards yesterday
bare bright $3.15 westford ma
Cast $350 a ton clinton ma
unprepared 290 a ton
aluminum .40-.70 cents/lb
And 150 for torch material

I too am holding my cu for better days, anyone remember 4.00 a pound last june?

Al Extrusion - .65
Cu - Al Mix. - 1.15
Shred .10lb
Insulated Cu wire (power cords, etc) 1.05

4 bucks isn't going to happen maybe 3.90. Hitting 4 bucks a lb for copper is like gas hitting 4 bucks a gallon nationwide. It going to fall like a rock if it hits that high consumers and industries will start to cut back on it or attempt to use a cheaper alternative. It just doesn't justify the four dollar price range at all.
