Droped off 350 lbs sheet iron got 140 a ton for it, I can not store steel as I have to much other stuff in the yard! The scrap yards pile of iron and steel was the largest I've ever seen at that yard! They have the room to store steel and wait out the price, I do not!

I just got paid $250.nt for light steel.

You probably won't like this, but I would have waited a day or two for your market down there to correct itself. Smaller markets are generally a day or two behind larger cities, like Denver. I bet they will start paying around $180-$190 a ton in the next day or two.
Yup its up 80 bucks in some markets. Should have waited for the sales to settle between the mill and yard then wait for the trickle down effect to the smaller yards. Its always a gamble and you can either lose or win.

I got 165 a ton last week, 180 would be graet.

I got a bump twice in the last week... couple pennies a pound definitely makes a difference.

Just the local yard I sell to and they did not seem to slow down at all. That yard sells to the big one in Ft.Wayne that is owned by Steel Dynamics. Maybe that's why they can keep the prices up fairly high.

And BohemianLush, are those the elusive "silver fish" ??
The last couple of weeks we started getting some decent rainstorms, that pond was right after a 2 1/2" rainfall.

I have a quick question, How do you tell the Difference between Iron, Steel and Tin. I picked up some metal studs people refer to them as Steel Studs, but there's two kinds theres a thin kind and a thicker kind. Is the thick kind like Steel and the thin Tin?
|
Steel is technically a composite of iron and another element (usually carbon). Tin is actually an element used to coat other things such as iron to provide rust-proofing. Iron is an element. In general use, they are interchangeable. You'll see yards buying one or the other and the terms mean the same.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
