    We have #1 copper, #2 copper,and if you really want to get technical we have light copper, but it really depends on the yard itself lol.

    ok.. i was under the impressioin that your 100 mile away yard has one standard of copper wire at .30c a lb.. and i was thinking since this yard knows people have to travel a great distance to sell and have no other choice so they kind of price gouge/rip off.... there are websites that give nation wide index numbers of average prices for different things.. they give up or down avg nation wide price along with market values. if nation wide average is 125 135 a lb.. then your yard should not vary to far off that, lets say they pay lower to pay cost and turn a profit. even at those avg prices say they pay 95cents a lb on up but if you go 1.25 1.35 a lb and they pay 30cents.. i would do something about it.
