So for the brass I would get about 80% of the brass price? $1.60/lb if it were $2/lb?

Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

My work had to redo the water line coming into the building. They cut out a 5 foot piece of large cast iron pipe with vales and fixtures, and a piece of heavy duty brass pipe, plus a ton of smaller...

Thanks Parrot. They were on my radar already but I hadn't looked into them in some time. Still would be nice to have some sort of monetary value that I can quickly use to calculate value like $1 for...

I've been picking up gold jewelry at auctions and yardsales when the price is right and have amassed a decent amount that I got on the cheap.

About a decade ago I used to get $50-100 each for these cards on eBay and you could find 10 a month going to auctions or yardsales. #TheGoodOldDays

Yes, I do believe that those shown in the picture are not gold cap in the middle. My buddy runs a traveling video game exhibit with 100s of old school games and he had me zap some of those chips with...

Myeke, for what its worth I agree with you. The overall attitude towards new folks is pretty arrogant on this forum, and I find it pretty off putting. The idea that many people hide behind the 'this...

Hello and welcome from another Rochester scrapper. There are a few folks from Roc on here.

I cut the loop in half and find the end that easily will unwind, then I grab the tape and pull. It will unwind about 4-6 inches before tangling with the copper. Then I just cut the exposed metal and...

To make your life easier going forward I would list similar parts saying something like "Note: Nissan built these vans with four different window latches. This latch will only fit the FRONT, DRIVER'S...

Yup, sadly I agree. I try to write my listings almost as if I'm addressing a 3rd grader because if you don't spell everything out someone will either try to take advantage or not pay attention at...

I've had three issues the last month with idiot ebay buyers. Not a lot you can do but either stand your ground when you are correct and hope you don't get negative feedback, or bend over and take it...

I use a pair of these for cutting up ribbon wire and other computer cables. Cuts through them like you are cutting paper and can process a whole bunch very fast.

Well said, I agree

None yet, and I did think about that as I was writing that maybe I would feel different if I had my own kids.

Good advice, I'll just add though that it is absolutely worth the time to look up each power supply on eBay. I got a large lot of Dell desktops to breakdown about 6 months ago, pentium 4 vintage...

With all the work and danger involved paying $250 for it seems like an awful lot to me.
