    I'm not a fan of hoarding. Sitting on capital hoping the market goes up versus selling and re-investing in the business seems like a no-brainer. I constantly adjust the prices I pay as the market moves to keep the same profit margin.

    The only thing that has been steady is the computer components with very minor fluctuations. Follow the buyers prices on here, ewasteds just changed his pricing with only a couple of prices moving. That last change was from posted prices from June 1. I think he only updated them on July 5 or 6. The metal markets having been changing weekly and as far as light steel sometimes daily. I will take my chances and hold onto the pm's as long as I can. Have plenty of steel to separate and towers to tear down.

    Thanks Joe. I needed someone to say it in a manner that makes sense to me. Every piece of scrap I bring in is free money and I forget that sometimes.
