madokie, assuming by your screen name you might be somewhere in Oklahoma if you weren't too far away from me, I'd almost load my scrap and haul it up t0 where those prices are, except I heard today that steel around here has gone crazy. I have never seen even bright copper bring more than $2.50 but been a while since went to the scrap yard, too far to go without at least a 3 ton load of steel
