I'm seeing prices drop on several commodities. The main reason is the shipping lines that take the stuff to China are trying to raise their rates.  |

| I cashed in a few bags of cans and about 30lbs of extruded aluminum and about 100lbs of steel. Didn't weight the cans, and didn't ask what the price was, but I got 28 bucks, which was more than expected. I go to this guy all the time and I trust them so I don't bother weighing it all up. |

I went to a yardsale and found 2 big brass candlesticks. I am 6'1 and one was up to my hip and one was over my knee. She wanted $20 for both but I talked her down to $10. I took one apart and turned it in and got $14 just for the one up to my hip. Still have to turn in the other one.
Also turned in the contents of a bucket I bought at a church yardsale. There were a bunch of little copper pipes in the bottom along with a sledge hammer. Got $5 for the copper paid $2 for the bucket. |

50 lbs aluminum cans @ $.40/lb $20
18 lbs copper (various scrap) @ $2.00/lb $36
Total: $56.00
I was kind of inappropriate languageed though. I called the place and they said they were buying stripped wires at $2.30/lb, and other copper at $2.20/lb. I shouldn't worry about an extra $3.60, but it's the principle damn it!! |

| Hate to see a yard not pay what they quote. Maybe that price was for 100 pound minimum. |

I should've said something, but it was my first time. Beginner's anxiety I guess. :P
