    took in stuff today todays prices what prices are you guys getting?

    this is what i got when i went to the yard today smallest load i have ever taken had to be done. we had to use the landlords truck for the cans no way it was gona fit in my dads truck its a chevy taho. i dont normally save cans but the landlord had saved them up.

    lapaz iron and metal plymouth indiana best place no finger printing no filling out paperwork and everything is done by hand no computers. i got 71.10 for all of it not bad

    i finally found out what red brass looks like it looks like a brass fitting but its got a copper coler to it. no one told me untill now i wander how much red i have lost=( now i no what to look for=)

    turns out the last time i went in the guy screwed up and i told the other guy what happened.

    the one guy said that my bare bright was not bare bright because it had oxidized which was not true so now any cords or wires that are copper coler i get bare bright for like extension cord wire and other cords yay.

    the guy also said that my radiator tubes were #2 copper but in fact its #1 anything without solder on it is #1 pipe he made a honest mistake he thought there was solder on the tubes because i took the ali fins off and some of the tubes were whitish and oxidized and even corrosion does not down grade tubes at least at my yard i found a good one to go to now.

    the yard i used to go to was run by mexicans and they spoke spanish and ripped me off alot of money i bet=(
