If memory serves me right, the mills were paying 180 to 202 a gross ton last month.

I can't accept any but if you only want 6.5 cents, I might buy the house behind me and convert it into a yard. That's delivered, right? I go through Solvay for everything metal as that's what's closest to me, so my information is based off their yard. If Solvay gives 202 a ton for mixed and Albany doesn't, there's a reason and since neither of us know what that reason is, it's all speculation.

By your chart that shouldn't be possible. But then again your chart's made up of averages pulled from serveral sources and is out of date. When you're as big a company as him, you can manipulate the market a bit by dictating the import/export rates: thus having a monopoly. It's why when Roth Steel closed up, his business increased. It's also why when he announced he'd taken a major stake in Metallico, people started paying attention.

People underestimate Solvay. It also helps Crucible metal works is practically right across the street. Thanks for sharing that step back in time.

Trying to attach the latest price sheet from the Albany yard. Would assume Solvay was fairly similar. No mixed metal here and light iron (which is what plastic tub dishwasher would go as if accepted) is at 71 / GT.

The $202 that I mentioned was the high end of what mills were paying last month for various steel grades. No way a yard could pay 9 cents (201.6 GT) for a dishwasher that has to go thru the shredder and is at best 75% metal.

At the request of others that have said to drop this, I will not comment on these ridiculous claims of 9 cents a pound any more.

In regards to "Mixed Metals", I don't know if you are sycic (spelling) or what. There is an article on "American Metal Market" about Adam starting to process "Mixed Metals". I have a FB message into them, trying to get a copy of the article. Unfortunately my trail subscription to American Metal Market is over and I can't get it.
