Are these figures too low?

[chrmaka]

okay the yard i've been going to the past couple months has been giving me these prices for stuff and i'm wondering if its too low and if i need just to go somewhere else.

Steel and Auto parts
mix- $0.08
Clean- $0.10

Brass
mix- $0.98

Aluminum
Sheet- $0.49
Cans- $0.50

Copper
#1- $2.25
#2- $2.20
Bright Wire- $2.35



Other Salvage
Wiring- $0.25
Mixed Non Ferrous Metal- $0.40
Mixed Ferrous- $0.05

All of it is done by the pound and i'm just curious if these figures are too low (like i already said)

[MattInTheHat]

aluminum and copper look about right

the steel is a little low

the rest is bad

[chrmaka]

well thankfully mostly what i bring him is cans, mixed steel, car parts, and copper.

[sledge]

Brass is a touch low. I garnish $1.20/lb.. other than that I agree with Matt's statements!

[BigTony]

Dang! Has copper really gotten that low!?! I haven't taken a load of copper in a while but it doesn't seem like that long ago I got over 3.00 for #2!!!

Weird. Your steel prices are about $20-$40 per ton higher than here; your aluminum prices are about the same, and your copper is quite a bit lower. #2 copper was $2.55 this morning, #2 insulated wire was $1.10

[boomhauer305]

Yes way to low

[AMI07203]

$1.50-1.70 for mixed brass in NJ

It all depends on the market you live in...is it competitive or sleepy? Also do you take your scrap to a small feeder yard or a large yard?

All of your prices look between 20%-100% lower than the Denver market except for steel.

[chrmaka]

he has the only yard in-town (to me) and the nearest yard after that is about 30 mins down the interstate. Its not a really small or large yard, more of in the middle, mostly scraps cars and parts. Also i live in south coastal GA right on the GA/FL line.

most seems close, everywhere is a little different but for what I deal with your prices aren't that bad. copper is very low everywhere right now
