the scrap prices are quite scrapped at the moment... even b-class copper is worthless Surprised
at the moment we pile up metall from our demolition sites on our yard, in hope of higher prices in the near future.
wonder how many demo contractors have made big losses because of the radical price dropp? in the worst case some contractor will go bankrupt because of relying to much on the resale value of scrap, the guys with well made contract papers will walk out fine.
