Sold alum. scrap this week...

$.51 per pound for one 22 lb. cast aluminum car wheel--
$11.22.

$.21 per pound for 6 lb. of storm window frames--$1.26.

$.51 per pound for 840 lbs. of alum. construction scaffolding--
$428.40.

$.67 per pound for 149 lbs. of beer cans.--$99.83.

The scaffolding was clean of steel bolts, etc. Some had safety orange paint which reduced the price of all by 2 or 3 cents per pound. I thought the scaffolding would bring more than the cans.

He bought a small aluminum boat sight unseen from a brother in law for 75 bucks, was told it didn"t leak, in law dropped it off at his place en route upstate from where he lived.

The guy got home from work, looked over the boat....the thing had bathroom silicone and roofing tar all over the seams in the back, the corners of the transom were ripped and buckled, and it appeared to be paper thin at the stern from being dragged up on the beach. Disgusted, he dragged it behind the shed.

Later on he hauled it off for scrap, and got $127 for it! He called the in law up and asked "Got any more boats for sale?" :)

I could get more for them if I took them
over to Chattanooga, but I would lose out on gas over there.
