i thought it would go up 2 weeks ago because in my area the past 5 yrs when gas goes up shred goes up but its stuck @ 8.25 a hundred, gas in NC is around 3.83

The yard I sold at yesterday was paying $12/100. I didn't have any shredder, only brass. It went $1.90 for yellow and $2.21 for red. #1 was $3.05.

Those prices were in NC. Last month I got .65/# on ext. AL, and .57/# on SS in Fla.
