mech, here was my thought process. First, I know I'm taking a way weight, and it's more work. the work is irrelevent to me as this is part time. Ok, lets say your getting a $1.60 per lb for gold...

thank you for causeing me to coffee stain yet another white T-shirt (think that was my last one too) nearly died choking on my coffee as each incident unfolded in my mind.

i've only ever seen two prices for ALUM. here in Va. clean and dirty. and all insul. wire, regardless of size is same price here. So that cuts down on my buckets a bit. All of my small elect. motors...

Call the Goon Squad lol. anyone remember this line "Don't make me call the goon squad" "I think you ARE the goon squad"

question for computerscrapper, on your gold pin bearing wire ends (such as printer cables and such). Do you give a better price for just the pins? Before I talked to any of the buyers, I had been...

I have the scale, know what kind of boards i have, but every site and buyer i check has different prices, just wanted a rough guess from someone who has experience selling, ive been researching for...

Alright, here's some pics of what some of the stuff I've gathered up thus far, can anyone give me a rough guess what it's worth? Thanks for taking your time to look.

cans here go for .50 a pound. and the alum that I melted down would have been dirty anyways as it had steel rivits and pins in it. mine went to the yard as dirty cause it had charcoal in it from...

yeah, especially when the other half likes to stay up all night watching the late show. Wait, that's not how you meant that :)

Thanks part time

thanks George, I'll give them a shout and see, I'm about 30 mins west of 288, pretty much half way between Farmville and Richmond.

my yard also only has one price for insul. wire. $1 a pound, and it's $2.70-$3.00 a pound for shiny clean copper, I strip out all solid wire, and the heavier, tightly wound stranded wire. Stuff like...

think smaller and thinner ingots, if it looks like it was sheets of alum. or shims of some kind, they may not realize it's an ingot, that is if you can get the top to cool flat, mine seem to have...

I've done electrical work, I've done welding work, and to this day, the worst electrical shock I've ever got was from a t.v. that hadn't been plugged in for two years back when I first started...

I got the droid bionic back in Nov. and after dropping $400 into a dang phone, that was my very next purchase, an otterbox rugged, and let me tell you, best dang cell phone case/holster I've ever...

ok, didn't want to start a whole new thread about this, just want someone to make me feel a little better with a chance I took today lol. From everything I've read, it seems you can spend up to $4-5...

online auctions? are you sure it was an auction you were watching online olddude?

originally I'm from up in Shenandoah county, about 4 miles from the Wv line, but now sadly, I'm stuck down here in amelia county, just outside of Richmond.

gotcha, I have read up on some of it, but theres a whole plethera left that I need to get to yet. I was just asking because I may not find out frome reading untill after the auctions are over, then...

.12 a pound

do you guys ever rebuild these cars and resell them? if so, that explains why all the cars in Va never have the tire irons, jacks, or any change in them, lol

They were a mix of small transformers and small electric motors. none of the motors had been stripped down. As for finding a different buyer, we have 2 scrap yards here, both are a 30+min drive, next...

gotcha, i passed on it as the bid was at $140 already, I was just curious though for future reference, I had heard someone say that you can pay $5 and still make a profit.

awesome dude, beats our way of melting aluminum, a hot ass bon fire, a big cast iron pan on top with a SS screen over to keep out most of the embers, lol. But then again, back home in WV, that kinda...
