I am in southern California, and it amazes me that my scrap prices seem to be so much lower than what I see elsewhere in the country. I would think we would be the highest- less cost to move the scrap to Long Beach port and out to the Pac Rim smelters. I am in the high desert, so my yard options are low, just a couple up here.

With the second yard who seemed to know what she was talking about, I asker her if I should cut the ends off or anything and she said I could if I wanted to, but it would only bring it up a couple cents a pound. If the scrap prices we are being offered up here is low, which it seems to be compared to the rest of the country, I wish I had the ware withal to get into escrapping up here- buy a used granulator to process insulated wire and ship large lots of boards and whatnot to one of the recyclers around the country. It seems there aren't many if any places that I can find that pay a reasonable price for boards and whatnot out here in Southern California.



Most of the boards I have now are p4 and newer, not really worth shipping. I was thinking I might be better off trimming fingers, pulling pins and chips and just lotting it all on ebay.
