I have trouble stashing that much copper. After about 30 or 40 pounds worth I tend to get impatient and cash it in.
I actually took all my stuff in this morning, this is my stash as of now... sadly.
what's this off of?
four ceiling fans.
Yes Sir,
There's about half a pound in each one.
Good stuff those ceiling fans. If I recall the stand up fans also have copper like that in them. Pain in the butt to get out but oh so worth it.

Sirscrapalot - Wondering where to convert at
U ain't kidding sirscrapalot. That is the end of the rainbow for me.
I had 2 1/2 tons of #1 copper pipe i got out of a demo job of mine, brought it to scrap yard, people looked at me like I was a rockstar and the crackheads were drooling. Sadly it was only $0.98/lb at the time
Last week we took 82,000 pounds to the smelter. 2,000 pounds per 55 gallon drum. Took us a month to finish that job.
$.98/lb was tip dollar bout 8 yrs ago. At the time I never thought it would get to the price where it is today
One thing that people seem to forget...copper can get down to .48 lb....thats what they claim is cost to produce from ore.
I just turned in 62 lbs of copper pipe. It was from a weeks WORTH of 2 boiler removals I did for my furnace guy. Plus I had 30ish lbs of brass cut off the copper. 22 lbs bare bright. And 30 lbs of wire. This was all from a week or 2 or collecting. The wire was over a month or 2.
