I was following a Builders "end of summer " auction. I drove to the open house this past Tuesday about a half hour out of my way coming home from work. There were quite a few large lots of aluminum as well as steel, and other scrap. I magnet tested several lots and guesstimated weights.
It was ending tonight so I tuned in. My wife was curious and over my shoulder. I Couldn't help myself and my trigger finger had convulsions. I ended up winning three lots. Net $73.00 with premiums.
If I'm accurate I'm thinking I "won" about 700 pounds of aluminum in the form of trim, new gutters, new elbow,etc.
Aluminum prices yesterday at local yard was .47 per pound.

Sounds like you just want to make a great deal. The wife won’t have any issues spending the profits.

Show your wife how quickly you can turn a profit, even if you can’t sell it all at one time. You will give her more reason to have confidence in you for the next time.

Great buy! I've had similar luck at auctions. A lot of people just aren't "scrap-fluent" and items like aluminum and wire can sell for far below scrap value.
