We just bought a old ford van to fill up with scrap metal and return, conveniently the scrap place is 2 seconds away from us. We got $140 cash for the van full.Its maybe 2 weeks worth, I couldn’t believe how much they were paying for it. A few weeks ago they gave us just over 500 for a dead 94 caravan. The ford van we bought for $300 so we could scrap it for a profit! I can see why their are so many scrap metal guys out their. Anyone else cashing in??
Hey man scrap is bringing top dollar now.We took an old 91 Gran Prix to the scrap yard and it brought 365 dollars.Thats around 12.00 per hundred lbs and also cataltic converters thyre bringing good money now.
yah I heard cataltic converters are worth some bucks $150 a piece I think. Calgary has a new bylaw coming soon and all old cars must be removed from property , and my brother in law is making a killing towing them away for free.:woohoo: B)
we have an old nissan pick up we put our aluminum in we hauled it 2 weeks ago and made 1400.00 as for sheet metal is at 7.00 a hundred here.
scrap must be the same world over at the moment in the uk we are getting around $120.00 per scrap car.
just over a year ago it [b]cost us [/b]$70 to get rid of them
Scrap is just going crazy high around here. It seems in a weakening economy precious metals go on the rise, but I cant figure the corrolation of scrap steel going through the roof.
I heard on the news people were beginning to steal man-hole covers! A local dealer is losing cat converters off new cars like crazy. I never thought I’d see so much theft of generally worthless things, like porch benches and light fixtures.
You would think the scrap dealer/purchaser would ask some simple questions like “where did you get 50 new converters, and 25 man-hole covers?”, but they don’t seem to.
At ant rate, it’s good for the honest man, but like anything else, it doesn’t take long for the crooks to catch on. Lock up your lawn furniture!,LOL!

We had a cut cut off a vehicle at the side of our ship in broad daylight. I don’t know how nobody saw it, thats ballsy. Their was a guy somewhere around here that killed himself stealing copper wire from a live powerline. I guess coppers insane too.
Me and a friend have been finding old cars cheap here and there for scrap to.They were up to 12 per hundred lb,now its down to 9.As far as 140 for a loaded full size van?They screwed you over.
how much do you think it should have brought in?
We took an 84 f150,weighed 3700 lb..brought 444.00 at 12 per hundred…and a 83 lincoln that weighed 4000ish,and brought 411,at 10 per hundred.A full size van,loaded(depends on what it was loaded with) should have brought 350 or better.
I think jimmo was saying the $ he got for the scrap inside the van, he stated later in that post that he bought the van for $300 and could probably scrap that and make a profit.
Skiski’s got it, ya i didn’t scrap the van. the $140 was for the scrap inside.
