    it's the end of December! some yards are trying frantically to fill orders to get material off their books so it does not get taxed on the first as an asset,
    SELL Now if your yard has a spike, because when the orders are filled, the prices will drop instantly to retail or lower, no special deals, they dont want anything after the last truck has left for the year.
    and yes that means prices will drop instantly for no reason you can tell because it has to do with the yard you are selling to's books, not the market, not China, not LME/COMEX

    V/r HT1



    P.S. Hoarders now is the time to make some phone calls, tell yards what you have, don't exaggerate. ask for extra if delivered TODAY, then deliver it!

    I just checked the shred price for my yard. It went from 20 to 50 a ton in 1 week.

    I wish I had that 1400 pounds back that I gave my neighbor 2 weeks ago.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
