    Steel prices down at my yard

    down to $140.00 GT. I know the other yard is down too but maybe at a penny higher so it looks like I'm going to be holding onto my steel for a while. Unless I have hubby turn it in by him, it is always higher there but I'm gonna have to call for their price.

    What makes that price even worse is it being equal to 2240 pounds.

    Since you work at the yard aren't you getting some sort of preferred pricing. If not you should ask for it

    Are you talking about tin or short steel?

    Albany Weitsman gave me 214 for tin two days ago...I'd expect yours to follow suit soon

    Straight shred. Weitsman calls it tin here. I hope they don't drop much further.

    I read your article and makes sense that prices have been stagnant for months. China manipulating the market and hording to sell it back later on at a higher price then they bought it for
    .

    We are getting 225$ a ton. We have only one category for steel, no matter on how long or how big, cast iron, cars, appliances or bolts.
