    Wow.. I thought the prices I got were bad compared to some of the scrappers on here (And I have a Scrap Yard). Bad locations make stuff worth a lot less.. I am as far east as you can get in Canada so transportation and the lack of mills make my prices lower.

    Time to tink about shipping your copper. Someone recently said they packed 69 pounds of copper in a flat rate box. Is a large flat rate box the same price for you as it is in the contiguos states?

    Flat rate boxes in AK work the same as the rest of you. That was my post about shipping the copper. They were also trying to buy the copper yokes as #1 insulated .80 yeah right. So maybe that will be my next shipping experiment. Smash them into a nice cube.
