most places are paying $8.50-$9.50 per 100lbs right now. its about to go up though, hold on to it, throw what ever you can into it, axles and all kinda heavy metal then junk it.

In Durham we are getting $6 a hundred.It sucks I took 450 pounds last week and got a whopping $26 bucks for my trouble!!!!
 
in Biscoe they are paying 8.50, me and a buddy just go around looking for junk cars and get them cheap, then take them to Biscoe. took wto old work vans and a taurus yesterday on a goose neck car hauler, had $400 in all 3, got $780 and only spent $30 in diesel!
 
Sold a 86 Buick Wagon a couple weeks ago, No Gas tank, Battery or Alternator, it brought $389.50
Sure would like to find more of those!
Scrap was @ $9.50 a 100 pound
 
Foil's was only $6 this past Saturday. Not worth taking till it's around $10 if you ask me, got'ta wait it out.
 
URE scrap in Biscoe went up today, $9.50/100. my buddy picked up an old Buick last night and today i found an F150, hauled them to Biscoe before i came to work and they brought $687. im told its about to go up again next week.
hope so cause i found 2 big ass old vans i gotta pick up tomorrow, ill wait till next week.
 
i just upped my prices today to $12.50 per 100. guy brought a 85 e250 and took almost $700 bucks home. sadly enough last time i saw prices like this it dropped down to $4.50 per 100 in a matter of 2 weeks. scary stuff considering i have 600 cars i gotto get crushed.
 
Paid $9.50/100 at Atlantic Scrap in Kernersville a few weeks back, was $10.50 a week before that but we missed it.

Hopefully you'll be all right. We're seeing price increases on new material, too. There's a big push to get mill orders locked in.
 
our stainless and carbon structural shapes and pipe prices just jumped 11% and are expected to jump 12% on Feb 14, so I don't expect to see scrap going down anytime soon
 
As U can see, Just depends on area & compition. Price also more at schreder sites. Crushed metal still has to be schreded. My Co. uses Southern Metals, in Charlotte. We get a commerical price. Today, clean tin was $14 per 100lb.. Aluminum sideing, .65 per lb. Price gets better when U seperate different metals. Aluminum also has different grades.
