#1 copper price

went to a new junkyard today. 900lbs and they offered 1.20lb. told the guy to suck my dick. because my normal yard pays about 5.20lb. make sure to look around before you sell. can't stand people who try to scam.

You one of those guys that find empty for sale houses and strip them of their plumbing and wiring?

if I had the time lol. it is just what I've accumulated over the past few years

So. are you mad cuz somebody tried to rob you after you stole a bunch of somebody's copper?

You simply accumulated 900 pounds of copper? Are you Magneto? This guy on the street the other day happened to accumulate 5 new laptops and a few iphones. He even offered to sell one, or all, to me at a discount. Great guy...

5.20 USD is unbelievably high for #1 (7-2017) , #1 copper is going for around 1.90-2.10 hear in NY, and our prices tend to be higher in the tri-state area over nation wide.

Their is a small form/blog "the scrap app" that attempts to keep track of the prices, They dont do the best job but its somwear to get a general idea of the sellers market.

Some of the buyers hear let you negotiate for a higher price if you have a substantial amount

Some of the yards hear also grade the materials differently which can make a huge difference in price, It always pays to separate as much as possible

China and news of Chinese restrictions on scrap imports that would increase demand for imported refined copper.

Thanks Trump

Were they oxidized green or still copper looking? I see those online and
always wondered how they weather over the years?

I have a couple tons of steel, maybe a half ton of aluminum, some copper, some misc metals- tungsten, bronze, chunk of titanium somewhere I can't find it..lol. All from scrapping cars and getting drops from working in machine shops. It's really not to hard to acquire weight in scrap.

Who tears off copper gutters? Thers a big old Victorian i pass frequently that had slate roof and copper gutters. Someone bought it a few years ago and had 3 tab shingles and alum gutters put on. Fuck, couldn't have even put architectural singles?
