2009 prices

Went to the yard today and got .22 lb for elect motors and only .35 lb for stainless steel! Last time I got .35 for stainless was in 2009! Looks like we will see prices keep falling.

Here is some other 2009 #'s hopefully we dont fall below them!
Al can .35 lb
Al Ext .42 lb
Die Cast .10 lb
Stainless .35 lb
Alum MLC .33 lb
#2 Cu 1.90 lb
Cast Alum .40 lb
Yellow brass $1.20 lb
Elect Motors .10 lb
Sheet iron $100 / net ton

I got .30 for electric motors at the yard here in town on Wednesday. I don't deal with them on too much stuff anymore unless it is for my own convenience. I only had 672 lbs of small motors. I don't get enough stainless to sort it. The motors were the type you find on printers and such. At this yard they pay the same as small transformers.

i just got quoted .47 for stainless

electric motors 10 cents a pound, shred $100 ton

those prices stink v:)


maybe you need to save up loads to take to phoenix surly they have better yards there or are prices in arizona everywhere that low?

last time i went to tucson we went to old tucson studios and the meteor crater and up into the mountains on the tram but that was back in the late 80's

Glad I don't live in Tucson.

These were 2009 prices to compare with todays prices! Looks like we may see prices get this low before it gets better.
