im only 34 years old and when i started junking,,,shred was .85 cents per hundred, cars were 1.35, short iron was 2.25... copper stayed between 60 to 80 cents per pound ....i remember cars jumped to 5.00 per hundred and i thought i was going to be rich.....
there was very little competition back then....when the prices rose it created a bunch of new scrappers .....not to mention that lots of folks think there scrap is worth way more than it is now..
