[racerboy832]

Car Bodies $200 gross ton



Alum Wheels .75
Brass Rad 1.40

BX steel Wire .35

BB Copper wire 2.65

I have a pile of BB wire, #1 pipe, #2 pipe and Sheet Copper. I could use the $$ for another project but sure hate to see the prices jump up in another month. I have approx 200lbs. Should I sell or wait it out?

How much BB and how much insulated wire do you have? I might be able to do better. Call me at 484-226-9323.

Well I unloaded everything except my BB wire.
#1 pipe 2.70
#2 Pipe 2.50
Romex 1.50
Insulated wire .90
#2 LT Copper 2.70
#3 LT Copper 2.40 (This was roofing copper sheet)

I had 248Lb total for $604 I questioned them about the #3 but the price seemed ok and they said it's there # not standard #3.

I have about 100lbs BB wire that i'm saving for emergency fund.

How bad do you need the money? It happens all the time, you'll sell something and two days later the price jumps up 10 or 20 cents per lbs. You never know when the price is going to change.

I picked up a 2wd Toyota Tundra cheap. It needs a tranny so I was trying to come up with the $700 for it. It wasn't an emergency but I figure I can make $$ with the truck so if I had to sell the copper while the prices are down so be it.

700 for a tranny ? is that installed ?

is your "brass rad" a brass radiator? I have an old auto radiator I thought would be all copper but a file on the end showed a brass yellow color, it it brass then? do you sell those whole ?

[racerboy832]

$700 just for a used tranny, I'll install it.

[racerboy832]

Yes Brass Radiator. I sell them whole. The only part that is copper is the fins.

Darn! I thought I had a good ol timey copper radiator(right up until i saw the brass yellow, and read your post) You tear the steel ends off and leave the rest alone?
