    Its been a while....... Good times.



    Since Coppers lower now, I'd get about $4-$5 per compressor now. And I am not doing anywhere near as many anymore, lack of sources.
    I find the bigger AC units/heatpumps have no more Copper than a normal frdge/freezer compressor.
    So I sell them 'as is' & wait till I either really really need the $, or I have enough compressors to make just gaining floor space attractive as well.
