A good day...Finally Had to share my story

I finally had a good day scrapping after a bunch of slow ones. My first pickup yielded 14 computer towers (All complete, but a few were missing HDs.) I also got 6 printers and 2 CRT monitors. Most are P3s and I got it all for free. I am going to break them down and sell them to one of the buyers on the forum. I will keep track of how much I get and let you guys know
My second pickup was from the "storage room of a church. I got 800 lbs of shred. (broken chairs, etc) I also got 49 lbs of stainless commerical door hardware. But the gem of the day was a brass "picture\sculpture thing. At first glance I thought it was made of plaster but I hit it with my magnet and it rang like a bell. It ended up being solid yellow brass and weighed 49 lbs. That made my week!
Even though the ferrous prices suck, things are improving here in Utah. I think some of the fair weather scrappers are starting to give up. That means more pick ups for the rest of us.
Good luck everyone

a 49 pound sculpture and you're thinking a dollar a pound? You're a hard core scrapper ;)
49 pounds of commercial door hardware, all stainless? Hmmm, at todays prices, that's about $5?

If you can sit on the brass, wait for prices to rebound and get the scrap that the others are giving up on. Same is going on here, fair weather guys are giving up and my pick ups and curb shopping has improved by at least 50%. Saw only two trucks last garbage night and its the same two I saw when I started back in March.

I actually got $25 for the stainless door parts. (.55\lb.x 49 lbs) I am going to hold onto the sculpture but it would have sold for $85 if I sold it today. I thought that was pretty good. And I only had to drive about 10 miles to get it all.

Depends on how long the prices stay down, but either way, the field is going to thin out. Good deal, more iron for tater that way
