Anyone else experience a decrease in metal prices today? My yard went from .10 a pound down to .08 a pound.
Gold started off REAL bad this morning but it came back up later in the day and closed in the green.
Prices will change some as the other metal markets did not recover today like gold had.
P.s gas will be cheaper. Crude oil price dropped down 0.97cents (selling for 91.22)
I'm still at $13.25 in NJ
I got $195 ton for shred today...we always seem to be lower here in Denver then other places. Quotes from other yards in town were $190 and $175.
I don't mind cheaper gas at all! :)Quote:

Just looking at the copper market you might want to recheck that price. It took a beating today and yesterday night. It went from 3.7 to 3.3 then back to 3.5Quote:

230-240 here
Yeah the truck scales readouts are in the office. You can see them hanging on the walls when looking threw the payout windows. Looking at all my reciepts I havnt had an issue with mass differences in my empty weights. When you go to other side of all for your AL and copper and such you can see the weighs but you have to look carefully. They are on the work carts the workers are typing at. Sometimes you have to ask them to turn them in your direction. but ALL is totaly computerized so they cant fudge any of it anyway. Unless they put in the wrong tare weights but that hasnt happened ot me yet. I like the yard havnt got a flat there yet and the guys in the yard are real nice. Heck one day I took the neighbor kid with me to show him the big graplers and such the yard guy gave him a whole pack of oreos and a pop. Just seems like a very nice well run yard overall.
I very much recommend dealing with ALL, they treated me right on my cats and they will give you better customer service if you are a "dealer"/purchaser. Let them know your coming, make the call with someone in purchasing..price check everything. Yards treat you much better if you are loyal and communicative, and you get important info on upcoming trends in prices.Keep on scrappin!!
I got a call on monday morning my #1 up 20$/ton. That is material being shipped turkey. I also received some better copper prices too which seems odd with the market down
140.00 a ton here in south Georgia. That is for shred and heavy unprepared.
Shred 150.00 in Detroit.
Where are you getting 150? Shred prices are going down the toilet at my yard.
205/ ton shred and 275/ton for cast iron, 2.60/lb #2 cu, 1.80/lb brass 1.05/lb ins. Wire and .45/lb Christmas
Lights. And best of all the yard has a rewards program where every 35 you make=1 point 200 points = 50 bucks not much but better than nothing
shred went up this week here from 160/ton to 170/ton. Hopefully it keeps going in that direction.
it better cause gas is going up as well. Ill take ****ty steel prices with gas under 3$ any day.
I here ya...paid $3.75 for reg last night before work.
Brass i no longer have problems with the local gas prices after hearing that lol 3.35-3.45 around here
Here in NY we are still hearing great numbers compared to the rest of the country, Sold some hms#1 for 335gt today. Light iron at 215nt
It's 135 a ton at my your in missouri it sucks.
It sucks worse here!Quote:
