    The prices I am getting is; alum is holding steady while copper and steel, motors, etc. have dropped off.

    Same here! Alum is steady.. rest has gone to the dogs!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Depends on what type it is, but 0.70-0.80 for extrusion.
