    Let's assume that it's all supply and demand.

    Those two things need to be in balance for stable pricing.



    Demand is weak right now because of all of the problems with China. We're kinda shooting ourselves in the foot whenever we bring in a load these days. We're flooding the market and forcing the price to drop.

    One of my wife's favorite sayings:

    Eww ... stop doing that ... it's disgusting !

    I thought I saw a yard closed during it's normal hours, but it was just that no one was there to sell anything.

    When I sold my copper and motors this morning, usually there is a line before they open, a long one, but I haven't been there in a while. It was me and one other guy for non-ferrous (small scale), no one in the ferrous line.
