[TheForge] Scrap steel prices

[Ron Childers]

I just sent several tons of heavy scrap to the salvage yard- Useless stuff
like cutting drops and old parts- nothing useable. Prices are way down from
just a couple of weeks ago. Also took a hit on 660# of aluminum and copper
was really low. Anybody know why? A few months ago the copper fascia was
stolen off the building across the alley and all of a friend's welding leads
were stolen out of his shop. Prices were high enough to take the risk. Maybe
now is the time to buy rather than sell.

The traffic here is running apace with that on other lists.
Artmetal is the exception, largely because of the political discussions.

I think most folks just have their minds stuck in other portions of 
their lives right now.
We should be back shortly.
Hope everything is well.
