In fact, a cubic foot of sold copper weighs approximately 560 lbs. http://www.coyotesteel.com/assets/im...rcubicfoot.pdf If you do the math on how much copper you could fit in a small storage locker, you'll see you don't need a lot of space to hoard a very valuable amount of copper.
    Agreed if copper was my main income..........I have so many things going on at this point I wake up and start going in 5 diff directions........I steady myself and decide to focus on one thing at a time whether it be Ebay, CL, Ewaste, CRT disposal, Printer Refurbs/Tear Downs Etc...........I'm hoarding computer towers right now stacking them vertically obviously...........Oh well to each his own and I wish everyone the best of LUCK!!!!
