It sure seems like las Vegas is a scrappers paradise. I'll see you all soon got to pack up and make a quick move to the land of sin.

For e-waste there's not a lot of local competition (also no focal places to sell so it's gotta all be shipped) so that is a plus. So is the culture of disposability here (although it's generally bad!). In addition to lack of local ewaste sales opportunities, another downside is that all other scrap prices are relatively low. Iron between .025-.035/lb. Extruded AL as much as .20/lb less than the east coast and midwest, insulated wire i'd get $1.35/lb elsewhere goes for .50/lb here and so on.
