Copper is at an all time high! Kinda.... #Scrap-Life #recycle #recycling #copper #money #metal #junk

What's a 6" piece of crushed copper pipe worth? (Don't worry, I'm in Canada and not planning to show up to your yard.😅)

Nice explanation 👌

Not only is your channel entertaining, it’s educational!!!

Happens all the time especially with industrial 'precious' metals like silver. Market moves $5, buyback only shifts a fraction of that. Tough to be in the physical

What is driving these prices?

It's called Business...

This is great information to know

Spread? This is old gangster talk😅

They paying 3.90 for Bb cper in my town

WOW, thank you for inlightment.

Nice keep it man. .82lb for cans in Englewood CO. And just got $162 a net ton on a trailer load of steel scrap

Tweekers are gonna be out stripping copper Double Time !

Kennacott is having a tough time finding a vain worthy of going after... beware

Sounds kinda like corporate greed 🧐

Anything to shit you out of what you're owed.

Copper has been overpriced for decades versus scrapping prices of a beyond easy material to recycle..

Yeah I installed broadband internet at a copper traders mansion a couple decades ago. Literally never touched any of the copper but was out there profiting plenty on that nonsense market of a widely available material..

If you didn't sell to the mills for what "they" want you'd get a good price. The rich keep getting richer.

Man there is alot more to your business than just scrap. Amazing work 👍🇨🇦🔧

Man maryland copper prices sick always. Its like 3.65 FOR BB. !!!!

Im sitting on a bunch of bb copper and a ton of spa wire but in not selling it for 3.55 dpp and 2dpp wondering if it would be worth it to travel north or south to find better prices

more, but less

Would LOVE to hear about differences in spread between different copper grades. The way lead times on different materials impact the pricing is fascinating, scrap metal is so much more complex than it seems! Especially in a distorted market like this. E.g., is it better to sell your barebright and hold the #2? Or vice versa?

Government NEEDS to BAN all plastic bottles with aluminum cans. Itll cut down on plastic pollution, healthier for people and hear me out here... But if we have a larger supply of aluminum, might come in handy during wartime. 👍

👋👍.

Complicated

That is what farmers call basis.

Hold it if you can afford too

Has anyone told the meth heads the copper is found underground? Give them a shovel and send it

Copper goes up and the scrapyards pay the same...
Copper goes down and the scrapyards pay less...
🤷🤷🤷

Strip out the copper of wire people will pay spot on ebay for a 50 pound mail box 250 -25 vs 200 -25.

I like seeing what copper is worth but I check the scrapyard to see what they're paying. The scrapyard determines if I sell or keep.

Tin an light metal is paying more then prepared steel by me

How do you track the spreads? It’s there software or website you use?

Copper has dropped a full 1.10 for #1 &#2 since the 2nd at the yard here in tennessee. And all scrap pieces are dropping.

I asked my scrap yard yesterday about copper prices, it dropped 92 cents over last week. That is Canadian prices.

profiteering at its best

Yep scrap markets rip ppl off

The spread is used by market dealers to insulate and cushion themselves from large movements that would have them take a loss on buying and holding physical metals before they could flip them to the refiners or end consumers. In volatile markets the spreads always widen until prices stabilize.

And the meth heads are still making money selling dozens of catalytic converters at a time.
