    Not a chance, sorry. I can't tell you a price, but I doubt it worth ten times what the best copper is worth. Don't mind skippy, he's special.

    If I'm not mistaken, my closest yard will pay the same for it as heavy melt. If not, I'm sure they'd at least pay the same as for cast iron.

    Why don't you pick up the phone and make a few calls?

    Hey, skippy, maybe hass deserves to have his chain yanked a little for having somebody else do his homework for him, but what happens when some other new member does exactly what everybody says to do, and uses the search function, and then takes your BS answer at face value? :confused:

    Yeah. You could find it with the search function.

    Hass, I'm usually the last one to tell the new guys "do a search", but if you had, you'd have found my earlier post containing the same link to US Pipe that I gave you. I had to use the search function to find where I'd posted it. So, yes, you had me doing your homework for you already.

    And prices vary from one yard to the next, one day to the next, one town to the next, let alone halfway across the globe, so you have to make your own inquiries of the people you're selling to. Nobody here can tell you what price your pipe might bring you. I suggested, in a not unfriendly way, that you "pick up the phone and make a few calls." That's you doing your homework.

    And then I took the time to criticize skippy for giving you a BS answer, because even though I'd already done your homework for you, I didn't think that was right. You think it's better for you if I keep quiet? Ok. From now on, you're on your own...

    Thanks for the kind words, Hypoman.

    And you know, if I say something that's out of line, I expect to get reamed, just like everybody else. But it's gotta be out of line...
