    I get more money from copper than anything. Of course I do mostly electronic stuff and I strip every wire that's not too small to get. Rarely get a bailing load. If I held on to my copper it'd break the bank bad. Might have to try to rough through it a while though and hope prices go back up. I'll give it a moment but I couldn't see being able to hold out too long.

    Eat. Sleep. Scrap.

    Never really considered myself a hoarder, I just let the different catagories build up to respectable piles. Today at an estate sale though, was a 33 gal trash can of insulated copper of different sizes with a lot of it being 12-16 ga solid wire for $125 and there has to be at least 125 pounds there so I bit and will take my time to strip most of it and turn it in someday.
