20 dollars a ton? Was that a typo?
Never mind. I went back and read it slower. I know shred went from 200 to 180 a ton here and everything else has dropped 20 to 30 cents a pound.
Buy low sell low.
Buy high sell high.
That's how you make money.
I think you'll be able to adjust. Out here, most people don't research the value of scrap cars. I'd bet that out here, you could cut prices $20/Ton, and most people wouldn't notice.
I'll wait to scrap our old vehicles, though.
****, I hope we hit the bottom soon. This is getting ridiculous.
Maybe the GF will finally cave and let me start a stockpile now, though.
"Babe, if the prices are low, we can't go to the yard as much...THINK OF THE GAS MONEY"
Yeah it sucks.
Yeah lower prices suck, but it has seemed to make buying hooptie cars cheaper as well.
Yea, I was offered a nonrunning car for 200. then I asked what it was, it was a Geo Metro which only weighs 1800 +
At 160 a ton I'd be losing money right from the start. Told him I'd get it for $75. and he acted like I hurt his feelings. Imagine that.
6 weeks ago was $180.00 a ton
Today is $130.00 a ton
South of Boston ma area
**** John if i got that low then i would really be taking off the winter lol
My regular yard is at $70/ton for shred (includes vehicles) and $85 unprepared, $100 prepared iron.
Down the road 50 miles it's $125 shred, $135 unprepared and $160 prepared. Price good thru tomorrow.
Big difference, but both yards expecting a drop first of November. All nonferrous is down 20%
yeah i got a big old van lastnight i am about to go out and process and haul in before the price drops tomorrow.
Yup, gold just tanked again too so the escrap market in neck and neck with ferrous... Time to hoard.
well i got the big van hauled in it weighed 5400 lbs
I wish you'd have brought it by my place; I'd have filled it with monitors and printers :)Quote:
