PS. Most of the scrap going into containers brings 5 to
10 cents per pound to
the dealer loading it.
Just don't expect any of them to admit that. Straight to my face I've been
told $1.50/lb for whole computer chassis. My guess is that they are getting
a bit more than 10 cents though, as the last batch of "breakage" I sold to
a scrapper I got 10 cents a pound for.
That first transaction you make with a scrapper often drives me batty, as
it sets the precedent for all future transactions.
