"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
There is lots of discussion about scrap copper in the forum section Deal linked to.
There are some threads scattered throughout the forum that touch on bus bars, but unless you are buying them second hand or used, it wouldn't make much sense to buy bus bars since you are paying for the labor to drill and tap holes or bend shapes.
You would just want plain copper bar stock. Alloy C11000 is .999 fine copper. This is what most of the bullion bars you see on eBay and places like my website are made of. It's handy to have a loading dock and a forklift to unload 8' sections of that stuff though
Like deal said there is a whole section on scrapping things.
Plus Copper pennies are a very cheap and easy way to invest in copper bullion. Also there is a numismatic side to the coins also. Thats why there is so much talk about that here

Yep hard to beat getting 95% copper cents for $0.01 each and at the same time there is the chance of finding wheat cents, IHC's, foreign coins and other goodies.
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.
If you have a good place to buy busbar at a good price, I'd like to know the paticulars of dealing with them companies, minimum orders, appr prices etc.
The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag 2:8 [/b] He created it. He controls it. He gave it to us for His use. Why did we turn from sound scriptural currency that PROTECTS us?
I enjoy buying my copper for under melt value, plus in Canada I get a little profit on all the US coins I find too. I also like getting international coins and old ones mixed in. Treasure hunt in every roll-can't do that with copper futures.
