Unfortunately it's about inline with what prices are here in CT too. I just cleared out my steel at 2 cents a pound. I am holding everything else ( copper, brass, insulated wire, batteries ) in hopes the market turns around.
I can wait till spring if need be.
Ozzy , I learned to cut the ends off all my wire to get more for it.
If they have gold ends ( monitor, printer, computer wire ) I throw the ends in the gold connector bin and get 70 cents a lb from a buyer on here. The wire with ends off I can get a better price that way. If it is wire with plug ends I cut those off and put them in a bin to take to the yard and the last time I went I got a few cents a pound for the ends ( I forget what they called it)
