Dam Bear...Good thing the cost of living is a little cheaper in OK.
Bear, is #2 insulated the same as 55% insulated?
Thanks for the prices. I feel a little better after seeing your prices bear.
i'm not sure Joe, that's the first time i took anything there for a long time, and i really don't think they have a very elaborate price structure, in fact, today i didn't even see a price list hanging like they used to have. Trouble is, it's about the only one convenient to me. I'm going to call another one tomorrow and see what their prices are, it's farther, and i'm seldom headed that way for just no other reason, but if the prices will cover the trip i'll consider it.
it was kinda disappointing, but if it makes yall feel a little better about your yards, i guess that's a good thing
Two days ago I got 2.85 for #1you copper it was 3.00 two weeks ago. .32 motors and transformers. 53 low grade wire and. 56 al
Yea that was an ******* thing for me to say. It would be nice if we could all get the same decent price.
So the trend I'm seeing is that the prices, for copper at least , are going down. Is copper maxed out or what? I've been doing some research and it looks like demand is going down slightly. I know the demand will never be at 0 but I'm wondering how low it will actually go. This is usually the time of year where prices rebound and rise from winter but it looks like it is going in the opposite way.
I'm really glad that I sold my 400 pounds of copper March 19th. Looks like that's when the slide started. I even negotiated an extra .10/lb over #1 price for selling the whole bunch - about half was #2 and sheet. Now I'm busy building another hoard from the loads of transformers and monitors I got.
I have to take mine in every month (part of a contract) but my prices don't move around as much either.
Freon, what kind of contract do you have? Is it one with the scrap yard itself or something to do with your business.
Mick what kind of price did you get on the 19th?
Deal with the yard on #2 copper, field copper and radiators.
$2.90/lbQuote:

2.90#1 2.80#2 at my Reg yard. The best price Ive find around here is 3$ for#1
Thanks everyone on all the info. It is appreciated.
The NZ Copper price just went up 30 cents a 1Kg. (NZ$30cents = US$0.24cents.
From NZ$7.40 -> NZ$7.70
We get a good Ali price here, NZ$1.30 -> NZ$1.70/Kg.
I read in our newspaper that Tiwai point Auminum smelter has cut production of one potline.
Thats about 50 ton of Ali a day. Or 18,250 tons a year. 1/9th of its output(?)
SOOO glad i live near large shipping ports. BB=3.30 #1=3.15 #2=3.00 Insulated=1.00
I sold on Sunday and saw no change yet, I get yard to yard price so that protects me from shifts somewhat.China's growth lowest this quarter since 09...
Where about's are you Bear? I am in Kamloops, British Columbia. Canada... I can't believe all my prices are higher than yours... #2 is around 2.50, #1 is around 2.75, motors are same at .15, most alum is .50 but rims and clean alum wire is slightly higher, and brass is about 1.70 - 1.80 ( don't have a current receipt in front of me)Quote:

Western Scrap in Colorado Springs has Sunday morning hours 8-11:30, I love it, I hit it at the opening bell. Nobody comes till 9ish. I have often wondered if a 24-7 yard would do well in a large metro. market? Some large shred yards operate round the clock so why not buy? Pawn shops do it.
I took in some #1 Copper on Friday and the local yard was paying $2.75
Thats what I'm getting in NZ for Domestic copper, @ NZ$7.30 Kg.Quote:

Guess were im going tomorrow? :-p
Copper has dropped .24 cents a lb in last two weeks on #2
Mike i really think that is all the smaller guys just hedging back to stay safe. I talk to the plant with the copper chopper etc and they laughed when i asked if prices dropped. Only thing i noticed was that #2 ins went down .25 and i have the feeling thats cause i left about 50 pounds of random steel and transformers on the cords.
here in new jersey it has been coming down almost 5 cents a week . do you think there is more coming in do the summer and more guys out there .
