What is everyone getting for extrusion? I had 120 lbs. of clean extrusion Saturday but I had to sell it to the yard that pays the least for non-ferrous that stays open till 7pm on Monday-Saturday and till 4 on Sunday - so I chose to get ripped off cause I didn't want to have to wait till next Saturday.
South side of Chicago, I can get .35/lb at yard A, and .32 at yard B
Aluminum prices are terrible by me at this moment........Anyone know why prices so low?
Tariffs are making prices lower.
I know I got robbed where I went so .25/lb seems not so bad after all. I wonder what it was at the place where I normally take my non-ferrous...
tariffs and china is being ****s about non aluminum things in the aluminum. I know we had a mountain of high percentage (80%) aluminum frag (what you get after it goes through the shredder) at the yard I was working at when I left and they claimed they couldn't move it because they couldn't find a buyer. from what I heard all the people that were buying it were also stuck with huge piles of their own aluminum they couldn't sell.Quote:

im getting the equivalent of .63c per lb
R20 per kg
i think my math is correct
only problem is that my yard takes only the thin alum as extrusion...the thicker, heavier slabs are accepted as old roll hard.
Hi
I'm interested in buying Al- Scrap (tense, zorba, Taint/tabor): contact me for more detail, I would like to make an offer for the 80% frag Aluminum as well.
Exactly how do we contact you I don't see that you have a buyers threadQuote:

Yard i work at is currently buying for around between .50-.70/lb depending on clean/painted/etc
I would need some info. I don't work there anymore but I'm pretty sure they still didn't find a buyer. the pile is getting really out of hand.Quote:

Gasoline, at our station, has gone up ten cents /gal. every week for the past three weeks. It's a seasonal increase that happens about this time every year. Hopefully, scrap prices will start to go up as well. They always seem to bottom out in the winter and then go up in the spring / summer.
