The spot price of copper hasn't even been near 3.50 in over a year lol

Check out the buyers thread, there's quite a few board buyers in the tri-state area, it mostly depends on what you have and what driving distance is reasonable for you.

Even worse is when it's raining and the truck is empty...

Congratulations, got mine '02. One of the few things no one can ever take away. Good job!

IMO, its best to treat others and their property the way I'd want them to treat mine. I've been trying to distance myself as much as possible from the scavengers by being respectful and talking to...

I wholeheartedly agree, before yesterday I took everything to one of the local yards. Mostly because I was familiar with how they worked, and they pay better on iron,that yard pays by check. Both...

Depending on what make and model equipment you have for scrap, i might be interested in buying it as is, or perhaps just some parts. My day job is a heavy equipment mechanic so i have a bunch of...

I heard, dont know how true it is or not, that there may be a market for the bumpers on certain vehicles as cores.

Burt, the friend zone is somewhere you never want to be, ever. It is equivalent to being a significant other with none of the for say physical perks lol. Basically all the work with no reward. Stuck...

5k to get started with what i already know? Use it for startup costs for an LLC and maybe some extra tools, the rest for buying product

I'm currently paying 3.00 each per computer around here just to get material in the door. Also i only have gotten 1 PS3 in and sold it on ebay for a good price, way more than a dollar. As was already...

70ish here today, went to work, stopped at a friends on the way home, scored a heater core and small electric motor, almost home 1 gallon gas can laying in the middle of the road, scored that with...

Depending on the size and if it doesn't work, the larger ones do have a good amount of copper in them, not sure of the small ones

RLS, correct me if i'm wrong but i'm taking it that the equipment is sitting on a piece of real estate someone purchased and they are not the original owner of the equipment?

I haven't tried taking fans to my local yard as of yet, but I've been hanging on to most of them. I leave most of the power supply fans on the case for shred weight. Once I get enough to fill a large...

That's actually what I'm doing with mine, casting some plinking bullets with a friend to keep our costs down. At those prices I'd definitely be interested in shipping some out if I get some extra in.

Lousy, around here they're paying .22/lb for wheel weights and .50/lb for regular lead. As of right now, i'm stocking whatever i get in. But if i would get an abundance, i'd be interested in shipping...

I had considered doing such a thing myself lousy. My local yard buys lead for .50/lb and sells it for .85/lb. I've seen it selling on ebay for 1.00/lb, at those rates there isn't much/ if any money...

I agree with Cummins, never can have enough winch. Just be sure what it's mounted to will handle the stress. It's bad enough if the cable itself would break, but if the winch rips off the mount it...

Tater, from what i understand the beryllium oxide on the magnetron is a carcinogen, i usually cut the copper from the magnetron with a sawzall or grinder.

Funny thing is, she is a scrapper in training, and my girlfriend. haha

Times are uber slow Voodoo, I haven't seen a computer in over a month. Trying to diversify as much as possible and get whatever i can. Back in november i handed out a bunch of cards to friends,family...

Voodoo, my purpose was to buy each and every computer from them. But basically the boss man said they don't see them at all and don't want them, now that's not to say one got stuffed in a car that...

When i had asked a local yard about buying computers from the shred pile, the one yard guy told me the shredding plant removes all the nonferrous, i was interested in the boards for "computer repair"...

I personally break down all of my transformers, the copper and steel goes to my local yard along with my heatsinks. For the IC chips and connectors, check out the buyers section of the forum. Many...
