Does anyone have experience with these items? A local ad is giving away a free box of these, dismantled from an old hotel tv network. Is it worth my time to pick them up? Are they heavy and copper...
Great personal story buddy! I hope to have some valuable scrap metal laying around for my children to fight over when I am gone.
I suspect that it depends on just how busy these jewellers are. It does appear to be a reputable article so I hope that weren't exaggerating numbers to boost reputation. The whole issue of...

Welcome from Australia. Tough times for you but you sound determined. Another piece of advice to add to the others: look for resale wherever possible rather than just scrap. Also if you are crafty...

Ask your friendly neighbourhood scrap dealer whether it is brass. :&But be careful! One place I have dealt with will try to spin you a story about reinforced aluminium door knobs and beat you down...
