Ok so he'd get $700 instead of $500, wasn't sure of the weight. Weitsman's giving 201 a ton for steel which is roughly $0.10/lb. Even if they took it at mixed tin pricing of $0.09/lb, that's still $630 and change. Pricing might be different on the island, but that's current pricing for their Solvay yard as of Monday.
Called Weitsman this morning to confirm prices. Light Iron 137/GT (6.11 cents). Unprepared 151/GT (6.74 cents). Specifically asked the girl on the phone about a fork lift. She wasn't completely sure and said that they would have to see it, but that it might go as unprepared.
At unprepared that's still 7400 pounds to get $500.
Note: these were at the Albany location. Called Syracuse (Solvay) and Light Iron was 136/GT and unprepared 195/GT. Pretty sure he gave me a bad price on the unprepared.
2nd note: Confirmed the unprepared was an error.
