took some things in and i had 5lbs of tin 1a tin what is that? i figured it out to be .45 cents and i got 2.25 they said they also count die cast as tin is this normal? on top of that i got a different guy and he lumped my copper tubes in with my wire and gave me #2 and i know for a fact that the tube was #1 and it came from a a/c. does it depend on the guy? it should depend on a common standard and not buy who you get if thats the case i like the old man better=) stainless steel sink was 9 pounds still at .20, copper went down to 1.40 it was 1.50 and held for a long time. out of all the times i have went there i always got #1 for my a/c tubes until now=( all in all i made out with 57.65. why are cans and old sheet worth more than cast ali?
