[sausageslaps]

good you caught that theiving scum, i have places i pick scrap up from all the time and the vultures are always stealing my stuff

[Specter00013]

lol, good score for 20 min of work. these guys werent playin around. if they strip it then stainless is roughly $.23 an lb and copper is $2-3 an lb. if they send it as mixed metal then is worth roughly $600 @ $120 a ton. most likely they sold it as mixed metal. looks like they're gonna put it in that roll-off.

lol it was too heavy for the forklift! ..$0.23/#? I called our scrap yard yesterday and the price for stainless steel was 75 cents a pound! #1 copper is at $2.60 and #2 copper is at $2.50/# But that was in 2004 so I don't know what the markets then were, must have really gone up.
