I would have received $7.50.

Wow... Now i dont feel so bad about $130/ton ($104 USD) that really sucks.

The only reason that I've taken any steel in is for space reasons, too.

I have a full trailer load of scrap that I started loading back when we were at $100/Ton. I'll haul that in when we get our new truck, but only because I really don't want to unload a 16' trailer, and load it again!

I'm taking some computer power supplies in today. At least they're a little bit higher... I hope!

What yard did you use?

Arizona Recycles on Hughes Access road. It's near my work. You?

CFS or Desert Metal by Kino Hospital $40.00 net ton was $45 a few days ago

I stopped scrapping at 4 1/2 cents per pound. Today the price is down to 2 cents a pound.

Steel prices are up a little this week by $10 net ton by me:
Torching $85 ton
Sheet $110 ton
Unprepared $150 ton

But my other yard is still way lower.

Cars are $115 here.

Cars down to $80.00 a ton (2000#'s) or .04 a pound in this area

As prices keep falling it is looking much more like we will fall to the prices we had in 2000. Aluminum is already there...
