Todays haul was alright but I got...

screwed a little. Here is what I got.

ALU-OLD SHEET===4 POUNDS AT .40=1.60
COPPER BARE BRIGHT (STRIPPED COPPER WIRE)===8 POUNDS AT 2.30=18.40
#2 COPPER=== 3 POUNDS AT 2.10=6.30
COPPER IRONY ACR (COILS AND CONDENSORS)===15 POUNDS AT 1.05=15.75
COPPER INSULATED WIRE #2 55%===8 POUNDS AT 1.10=8.80
TOTAL: 51.00

The part where I got screwed was the scale guy jipped me 2 pounds each as I verified the scale wqeight on stripped wire and insulated wire and and #2 copper. I was ready to argue but he insisted the bucket the stuff was weighed in was 2 pounds itself in weight even though the scale didn't say it weighed even a pound empty. Needless to say, this will be the last time I go there as this is not the only time where they shorted me and they pay the least. Go figure, more money in their pockets right? Either way, it wasn't that bad a turnout as it is 51.00 dollars I didnt have before hand. Best part is I have started my next load being built up as I stripped a refrig at work tonight on my lunch hour from a co-worker. Good luck scrapping everyone and happy 4th!

nice haul. that sucks about the 2 pounds each
im sure you know this already but, if you go to google maps. then "find bussness". type in your zip code and "scrap metal" it will tell you all the dealers by you.
