how much would a titanium bike frame go for??
that'd be a great trash find.
found a titanium lacrosse stick shaft i sold on ebay for $60

my 6 year old loves learning about how to break things apart to get the copper out!

dude if you don't know where to find scrap in the area you live in, how are people who don't live there supposed to know?

i'd think that the most "scrap" a dentist would have would be x-ray sheets.... last i checked they were .55/lb , that was about 2 years ago though... cashed in about 200 lbs of xrays...

i do lawn sprinkler work with this guy servicing about 700 accounts... 99% suburban residential.... each season i get a decent amount of copper & brass scrap from pipes & valves that freeze and crack...

i had bills due 2 days later so that got me greedy and i took the $65 cash the scrapyard i always go to pays. time wasn't on my side for this one.
