None of us here are interested in investing if you are trying to ask for that.
Scrap prices here have been down for a long time. Also oil is up to just over $50 US that is an increase of about 20% over a couple of months.
Please go to the introduction section and tell us a little about yourself and your scrap experience. 73, Mike
I hate to sound negative but the value comparison you used given your economy and Nigeria's reputation for scams would be like saying the peso is worth something when compared to the dollar. Our scrap values are still in the toilet everywhere. If they have gone back up as much as you say the two yards I sell to are unaware of it and they are really fair with me so I know they would pay higher if they could but similar to price fluctuations involving gas at the pump but the opposite. In the case of scrap it takes forever to go back up gas takes forever to go back down. Just for saying. I have a 2016 car worth 40K for sale. (Not really just acting like a Nigerian scam on Craigslist) Price $1200 dollars. Interested?. Send me your personal information and use Western union for all transactions under the name of John Smith.Quote:

currently the exchange rate is 450 naira to a dollar. these caused the price of scrap battery to raise. a kg of a scrap battery was 160naira today it cost 350 naira per kg.
You have not introduced yourself yet. I am three months new to this site. It is very informative and interesting and easy to use plus I have learned so much about the scrap business I had no clue about before. Even with low returns on my scrapping efforts I am still at it because my overhead is low and because I have not fallen for any Nigerian scams. If you are a legit scrapper from Nigeria and your true intent is to become part of this family of great people each with the same goals. Welcome. If not you will quickly find out how hard working Americans dislike being taken for fools.Quote:
