took in scrap

$5 a pound for brass, $3 a pound for copper?



I would drive the 7~8hr to cash in my hoard for those prices.

And $28.25 for .25lbs of aluminum? That's $113 a pound!!!! I am all in.

You are translating it wrong. $1/lb of brass got $5, so had 5 pounds of brass. $1.50/lb of CU#1 got $4.50, so had 3 pounds of CU#1.

Around me the al cans generally go for a few cents more than sheet al, but not always as it depends on which yard I go to.

It's not that we're translating it wrong, OP wrote it wrong. OP should have said price per pound or price / pound
