Nice load!!!

[GeorgeB]

over $100,000 worth of copper!

[prgiva]

Should we all contribute to a pot and distribute the profits accordingly to how much we've invested? who's down?!

[wayne]

Good grief. They show a map of the location and say they don't work Fridays. That would never happen in the UK! Than again people don't own handguns in the UK either

[Divemaster920]

This is a high security site.....Lots of guns.................And they do not sleep.

[IronPirate]

I am in Tenn and my father and I thought about liquidating all our funds but the bid has went through the roof....LOL

Well at a price of 3.86 lb that is currently worth $174k. Even at $3.50 a lb that is 150k+ I figure the bid will get up to at least $125k.

Hope this is related enough to post in this thread.

Here's another auction listing from the same site:
http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa...51&acctid=3043

We've been watching it for several days.
The bid was pretty low for a while there, so we'd considered bidding.
Now it's probably out of the question when considering the cost to
drive to pick up the load.

Out of curiosity, would anyone throw out there a number they'd be
comfortable with on this? If it were local, anyway.

Or with just the pics to go by, can you hazard a guess to what it
might bring, give or take?

Thanks for any ideas!

I watch govdeals.com all the time for scrap and other items. I had bid on 3 different lots of computer equipment but have been outbid. Still trying to figure if is worth more then the $30 max I had.

In Columbia there is a lot for 399+ computer items. It's 300 Dell Pent 4 CPUs, a bunch of flat screen monitors, and pallets of mice, keyboards, and said power supplies. Bid on it is over $5k currently.


If you have a military base or other large government center, or live near state capital another good website is:
http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/

Can normally find huge loads of scrap but it's priced for scrap metal yards that need all sorts of certifications, etc.

Probably will go to 173,500. Got to leave some room for profit

[ScrapperNJ26]

They upgraded the estimation on weight to around 62,000 from 45,000.

[prgiva]

closed at $217,000 !!!

[IronPirate]

That's exactly 3.50/lb. Must be a smelter buying at that price?

[happyscraper]

Don't forget thiers a 10% buyers preimium, thats another $21,700.

[EcoSafe]

not much room for middle men here . not sure what spot is but thats gotta be close.
