    Even if the guy is paying for freight, how are you going to make any money paying $2.48 a pound for copper?? I took in some #2 this week and got $1.41 a pound. Unless its usable scrap copper...

    My guess is we will catch them? And sell at a loss, then troll the forum. In that order.

I did notice the person who threatened me with a lawsuit doesn't appear to purchase the stuff anymore. But I still do. At a loss. All my scrap is at a loss. And, at the risk of getting this pulled.... or better yet, blocked... (and I don't blame you, but do you think you should pull me, since there isn't any other good threads generating interest right now? Ask the other mods or admins before you block/ban me... bad advertising is better than no advertising... I should be getting a kick back)... I am going to ask again.... What are you going to do when the computers run out?
    Move onto the next thing to recycle. There ALWAYS is something to recycle. And really, run out of computers??? There always will be computers and other electronics with some precious metals in them. There also are plenty of other types of things in those to recycle as well. Due respect, but that is a silly statement...

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Okay let me explain. If he sells on ebay at 2.48 he looses 15% in seller fees and paypal fees. The cheapest way he can ship 100 lbs is USPS flat rate
    which is $32. Its a loss. I'm not looking to buy from him, I just told him where to net more for his copper wire. But he tells me its none of my business, not okay thanks
