Apparently prices of scrap are way up. I heard this from a friend who's family does plumbing and general home remodeling. Supposedly prices are up(at least in this area) due to China buying all the scrap they can and turning it back into base metals. In some cases it has jumped up more than triple what it was.
I tried googling this but dont really know the subject therefore I dont know where to look. So yes I have No sources other than what I heard but regardless if this is true than there are a lot of junkies out there who work in home remodeling and are making bank.
I know most everyone knows this but for those who don't this is where the term JUNKY came from. After the outlawing of all opiates the hundreds of thousand's of people in withdrawal had to find alternate sources for money. To the junkyards and contruction sites they went.
The little bit of scraping I did in the past taught me one thing. Copper is GREAT! There is a good bit in every house and that stuff is worth its weight in....Put it this way... One truck bed full was normally upwards of a hundred bucks.
If someone in this business has any information that negates or coincides with what Im saying then feel free to correct or elaborate on this post.
