E-bay is NOT the evil entity that some will have you believe. There is no other way to get your item in front of soooooo many eyes and the fees are far less than you will ever pay at a local auction house.
With that said. Why would you want to sell copper on E-bay. Take that to the yard. Shipping will kill that deal any day of the week.
Parrot that depends on where you live. Scrap master J sends me large flat rate boxes of copper from alaska and I take them to the yard for him and paypal him the money. I take $10 a box for my time and trouble and he makes double what the yard will pay him for it. I have done this with brass for him as well. If his yard is only paying $1.50 a pound because hes way up north and no other yard around he can definitly make more selling it on
ebay. I think my mail lady is starting to hate me. Shes is all of 125 pounds and when some of these boxes come in she back her truck up to my door so she can just flop the boxes out of the back
