Scrap prices

[tackleburger]

Ant truth in the rumour that prices have dropped?

 

[kay-jay]

not weighed in for a while, but at my merchants they have dropped the price of tube twice recently and they say its due to go down again

i should imagine that the scrap trade follows the same trends.....unfortunately

 

[benfisher]

Short answer, Yes, i weighed in last week and it was down 40p a KG for clean copper on a couple of weeks ago..

 

[Barry98]

no doubt copper is for sure is going down

Ive got a bucket of taps, rad valves, sink wastes, mixers etc so full I can hardly lift it. Gotta get it in soon!

Last year I bought a big brass elephant from a car boot sale for a fiver and weighed it in for £22 later that week!

If any of you know it, i got those prices from Nebbett's, nr Croydon - www.scrap-man.co.uk , they always seem to give decent prices - Not advertising this firm, just recommending. Did see a guy scrapping a bundle of 22 and a bundle of 15, not even opened.

[SafeGasInstall]

you should have give the man £50 for it he would have been happy ,not probably I think is more then %100 is stolen !

I wish i could express my self how I would react if I see some one offloading my van !

 

[gaspastemania]

probably one of the reason connaughts went pear shaped would often see guys who work for them scrapping bundles of copper down the scrappies then plumbers buying the bundles dirt cheap lol win win for scrappy

That get's my goat that does usually local council blokes or theives. I had my pipe carrier bust open last Decenber collected 5 x 28, 8 x 22 and a full bundle of 15mm all nicked. Irony is it was the only day for months I'd managed to finish early enough to get stock for the next day and I had a big job on so felt good to get my stuff and get a flyer in the morning. Drove 1/2 an hour to the job had a tea, unloaded, got the boards up went to get the pipe then realised it had been nabbed.

 

[plumberdarren]

Ive often wondered how much the scrap man sells it on for and to who! anyone know ?:

 

[REDSAW]

went today with a 900x450 cylinder, got £28. they say the price has gone down but not by much.
ended up spending back £20 on 22&28mm yorkie fittings i couldnt resist out of the 3 boxs they had.i paid £6 a kilo for the fittings.
the scrappy says hardly any plumbers have been in for weeks and those that have say work is scarce.
one bloke last week, a plumber pulled some stock pipes out of his garage so he could afford some fuel to go to a job he had booked in.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

i would not sell for that much redsaw -would hold it till x mas if i have to but £28 -no way

If I wasnt a heating engineer, I would fancy running a scrappy, loads of money...

 

[SafeGasInstall]

[washer]

Running a yard would be a hard thing to fit in with the day job!
