So much for that. Day one of the 14-day auction and they're already bid up to 1700 bucks. Last load of clean brass I took in got me $2/#.
850# @ $2/#=... guess what. :confused:

I actually bought a box of brass water meters about the size of the one on the right and your probably looking at around 1200 lbs. and water meters bring some good money if you clean them. But in our state you have to have a dealers license or be the county to sell the water meters.
Anyone care to throw a guess as to the weight of the two crates in the pic above? Unsure if the large fitting beside them is part of the lot, will have to inspect & ask.
Items are "" Used Water Meters; Some brass and some brass with plastic in assorted sizes of 5/8" to 2" "". Don't need superaccuracy, just ballpark.
THANK YALL!!!!
On another note, I think that the best thing to do for this thread is to take a picture of something along with the weight and dimensions. other wise there is too many variables.

I've found that a standard refrigerator carcass (lining removed) will hold 1100-1200#s of "prepared steel" or #2 HMS .
Hope that helps someone.

i think the best way to weight the scrap is first we need to fill it in the truck then we can weight the whole truck

There was no motor on it, unfortunately.
I still have the arm because I need to crack open the box. That's going to be maybe 3 more pounds of aluminum. I also just tossed the cord in with my other cables, so that is not included in the total.
