todays scrap prices in my area are as follows

300 series stainless is 80 cents a pound

400 series stainless is 07 cents a pound (thats right 7 cents)

plain old mild steel is 10 cents a pound

your expensive 400 SS fire box that rotted out is not worth as much as mild steel and they charged how much more for it?

sorry couldn't resist a little poke.

it must be the spring air...enjoy it

 i have been watching ''car price'' of scrap creep up to $180 ton .figures.... i scrapped # 1 iron three weeks ago @$175 ton,now its over $200.. but i will have to call on stainless.still have some 6' tank sections left,..last time i asked it was .50 cents lb .that would be nice if it up to .80 cents here..spring cleaning sooner then later.

well i am not scrapping a stove, but last weak i bought several pcs. of angle at .10 cents per # for a farm job. i also here that there is plans for a new price hike on steel at least from the steel mil that i work at, should be the first of april. the price hike for the first of may didnot happen sence all of the steel producers didnot follow through.
