    in my opinion the reality shows and all the hype in scrap these days have ruined auctions for any reasionable profit, too many auction nutzos out there when the price of junkcomputers and such go to 25 and 50 $ each good luck im sure there are some acorns out there I just dont have the time to search them out. also be aware of hidden costs, fuel truck rental labor for loading, and sur charges of up to 10% for auction services.

    read the fine print. Good luck !

    Boy isn't that the truth! Bought over 1,000 lbs of copper for 300 bucks from an IRS auction in 2009.

    The best scrap score so far, and it hasn't happened since. People drive these prices to insane amounts.
