    I appreciate it. I didn't really expect it to be that high per pound. I've talked to a couple of refiners that have a 100 lb. minimum weight on the same item.

    You need to do some reading of Noble's about representing your material and differences in refiners, etc,etc.
    When it comes to refiners, buyer beware.

    You must always remember the buyers on these forums and elsewhere are not running charities for the scrap industry. They have to have some meat and be able to pass on some meat too.

    There is money you just need the volume to get the best results.

    You'll do well to do some googling too, and read the hard luck stories of people sending 500 pounds to a refiner, and getting back a check for $1.95 ; )
