What is everyone getting for Copper?

Yeah, I've also never heard of alum cans being that low. BTW I was looking through some magazines at the store and on the cover of Bloomberg magazine is a story about copper theft in America. Pretty good article about detectives going under cover to scrap yards. One thing that caught my eye was that copper is expected to go up to over $5/lb. sometime in 2011, not scrap price but COMEX index price.

As of a week ago, copper was going for $2.80 for #1 in Broome County, NY. This is pretty low considering copper was WELL above $3 a year ago. Aluminum is low too. I brought in 87 pounds of extremely dirty aluminum and only got about $7. I didn't do the math, but I know that's pretty low, even for dirty stuff. I'm hoarding everything for now until spring.
