To hoard or not to hoard

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw your other post that answered my question.

I thought you were going to say that you took in like 1,000 lbs of copper, but even then, there should be no issues.

It is all about supply and demand for scrap yards and THEIR buyers. Their job is to get as much as they can to keep their buyers happy, or their buyers will go else where.
