Hi all! Got a couple of price bumps recently. Here's what today's load brought:
Tin: 5¢/lb (up from 2.5-3¢/lb in November)
Extruded aluminum: 50¢/lb (up from 45¢/lb earlier this month)
Cast iron: 8¢/lb (same for last seven months)
Copper #2: $2.40/lb (up from $2.30 last load to this yard)
Breakage: 5¢/lb (same for last seven months)
Aluminum: 35¢/lb (same for last couple of months)
I am likewise in Las Vegas and would love to know what yard this is. The yard closest to me in Henderson is paying numbers about half what you're quoting.
This is Desert off Carey by Nellis. Their prices are normally the best across the board but currently Champion on Meade by the 15 beats them on tin. The yard you're referring to is prolly that S & A off Sunset, yes?
I'll check that out, thanksQuote:

But the prices the lower yards here pay are shameful.
