    I would scrap the tinned copper as is. My yard counts it as #2 copper. Your time is better spent doing something else.

    $3.57 is only a few cents above what I'm getting at my yard, and that's only winter prices. Maybe the people who sell it don't get that great of a price and make more money on eBay.
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

    Just a thought

    I think we all realize that copper is going for 4.41 a pound. Of course the scrap yard gives us 3.50 or around that price per pound, but that's obviously so they can make their huge profit when they sell all our copper for over $4.00. Maybe these people purchasing the copper on Ebay for 3.50+ have the same connection as the scrap yards to sell the copper over 4 bucks..... OR even shadier and corrupt, maybe these people own scrap yards or are the head of their particular scrap yard which I don't know if that would be an ethical issue or not if you owned a scrap yard and decided to purchase copper on Ebay in your spare time
