7-13-11 SW MN. just asked about price on a few things at a yard I've been going to for almost 30 years and wishing I had alternative markets to deal with. batteries .18/lb, #2 copper $2.80/lb. car bodies and tin 160.oo/ton #2 prepared or mixed steel $190.oo/ton.
I been trying to hold out for a little higher steel and copper prices but may just have to bite it and get a few tons of iron outa here to stay alive.
