Copper price - What is your selling price point?

Postby mtalbot_ca » Thu Aug 08, 2013 2:37 pm

My local yard pays out $2,10 per lbs for No1 copper, so I am not selling, but copper prices have been sluggish lately. I might reconsider....but anyway, what is your selling price point?

Cheers,

I've been getting $2.50 for "Copper" and $2.60 for "#1 Copper", which seems fine to me for where spot is. $2.10 seems quite low for #1

My selling price point is when I can sell it and make a profit.

The local yards pay $2.50 and $2.60 for #2 and #1. I can probably get $0.15/lb more for 200 lbs +.

smackvay That's a crazy good price.
