Scrap Price?

Anyone know what the current s**** price per ton is? I have a guy I have bought old cars from in the past that has a 57 Pontiac and 46 Ford sedan. He gets them to sell for s**** and I want to offer him a bit more than s**** price.

Thanks

 

its really low right now,,,a friend of mine just s****ped a 56 lincoln frame,,they agve him $11....hardly worth the time,,,,,

 

I forgot to ask the price or look at the weight but I sold a few hundred pounds Friday for $3.90.

 

well, in central Indiana, s**** has droped off to nothing. talked to a guy that works for a local salvage yard yesterday. he told me that the yard was'nt even paying for s****, the price they would recieve was about 20$ a ton. lowest it has been for years. good news for our hobby/addiction.

 

In Peoria, Il this last I took a parted out '65 Starfire (2,600 lbs) and 3 large radiators to teh s**** yard and brought home $69.00

 

They wont give you any thing around here...SO that would be 0 per lbs

 

car bodies 2 weeks ago 45 dollars/ton. last week 15/ton.

 

Here in WNC it is $2.00/100 lbs.Just hard to believe it dropped that fast!

 

I,d give a c-note a piece as long as the trim and gl*** are okay....buyem and strippem then find out what crush is going for.The Pontiac rear end will get you a c-note from the g***er crowd.

 

Last time I checked around here was 3 weeks ago and was quoted 35 a ton. A friend last weekend was told they are not paying anything but he could drop it off for free(different yard).

 

In August wholesale s**** was going for $365 per ton & this month it's down to $65 per ton!

It will probably go lower in December.

 

I dropped off 1400lb here, plus a radiator, and I got a whole 17.50 for my trouble!

 

I think it's close to $30 a ton... Offer him $150 a piece, heck he won't get that for them!

 

Wow that's good news for us!!!!! They both still have the V8's in them. Pontiac is a 2 door HT but no rear end. 46 is a 4 door sedan. I am going to go look sometime next week.

 

Last week here in MI it was $20 a ton. The week before that $50 a ton.

 

No 57 rear diff? No matter....a 2 door hardtop rear window surround trim will get you a hundred on Ebay if its nice and you polish it.The gl*** will fit a 55-57 Chevy 2 door hardtop as well! 57 Pontiac trim is not reproduced and the rare stuff is gold in good shape.

 

$20 in Tucson when I called last week.

 

Heck, if the '57's not rotty someone might want it as a car, if it was close to me I'd go for it and use my 4dr as a donor.

 

Holy ****, it was $250 a ton a couple months ago.. I made over $2500 in 2 days hauling outta my yard... had no idea it had dropped so low since then.

 

It's $1.50 per hundred in Southeastern VA.

 

Just hauled 1200 Lbs of prepaired and got 15.00 not worth the gas. the bottom fell out of the s**** market.

 

pretty amazing. $300/ton this summer and now it is $10/ton. Got that right from the horse's mouth.

 

china is no longer buying it up. the olympics are over. the goverment isn't subsidizing building anymore and their economy can't sustain the growth they were experiencing preparing for the olympics. price of oil is dropping too. everything is back to normal.

 

Last time I was in line at the s****per there was a real nice '64 New Yorker on the trailer ahead of me.. I thought about asking the guy if he'd sell it to me but then realized that at "s**** price" that car was worth over $500... man, how times have (apparently) changed...

 

I hope some of it comes back by next spring, should have plenty saved up by than. Not worth the trip for now.

 

A buddy of mine has a crusher and a semi for hauling crushed s**** to the steel mill. For a couple of months he hasn't done any hauling because he can't recoup the cost of gas to haul a load of s**** to the mill. He bought a manufactured house based on the high (until recently) metal prices, but now he can't make the mortgage payments. Strange how the global econonmy works --- boom or bust.

 

20 a ton in san diego on friday

 

$15 for a car here, was $65 3 weeks ago, $200+ 45 Days ago! I screwed up. got a pickup that needs to go bye bye.

I also collect soda/beer cans. half crushed in a 55 gal drum brought me $20 a few months ago. Now it is closer to $5

 

Your timing is perfect! You’re in a buyers market. Good Luck

 

I would like to say I see this value for steel/alum in the material cost. I used to take 700lbs of aluminum chips a week to the recycler @ $.45 a pound. now $.17 . This hasnt translated in to what I buy it at. Why? Steel is the same approx. per pound of solids too.
