In his post he said his local yard is only paying $2/lb for bare bright (ie they are probably somewhat low). His 100 pounds at $248 is $2.48 a pound....meaning if he bought it from the guy at that price and turned it into his local $2/lb yard, he would LOSE .48/lb on the deal (assuming this scrap copper was in fact bare bright). Basically the place he sends stuff to is low balling copper pricing probably a bit and he can't understand why the guy wants more than the stuff is worth.
