Saint-scooby Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 Does anyone know the price for grade 2 copper, got some and would like to sell it ?
Dog Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 How much do you have? Todays price is £6000 tonne for new, so I would guess around £1500
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 (edited) I use these http://www.touchsouthampton.com/business/list/bid/3716355#map_directions James Huntley & Sons for aluminium which from memory is about £0.65 a kilo but copper is worth a lot more. You could try giving them a call? Edited 4 February, 2011 by Whitey Grandad missed the link
buctootim Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 Does anyone know the price for grade 2 copper, got some and would like to sell it ? Did you take it out of Dog's consumer electrical unit?
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 As an aside, old pennies were made of pure copper and were three to the ounce. Once the price of copper got to £600 a ton then it was worth melting them down. As a schoolkid I went on a visit to Enfield Rolling Mills to see the stuff being smelted and worked which was quite an experience. On one occasion there was a lorry parked just inside the entrance with billets of pure copper and brass, these were about 1 metre square by 15cm thick, and somebody just walked in a drove off with the lot, lorry and all.
Gorgiesaint Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 South Africa is the place to sell it, I believe. Here's some people you could try contacting as they appear to need some.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/9387517.stm
Saint-scooby Posted 4 February, 2011 Author Posted 4 February, 2011 Went to emr had just under 40 kilos of low grade stuff, worked out at £1 per kilo. Had a text from a mate who works on the LME, yesterday it peeked at $10,000 per tonne. There was a steady stream of people selling the stuff.
Truesaint Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 Took i think 12 kilos of it it to scrap dealer 2 weeks ago and got £57 but it dowes have to be clean bright copper, not old pipe etc. If its wire and its still in the plastic insulation you get a lot less. Think i got about £12 for around 11 kilos of that. I hadnt been bothered to strip it all out, although at the prtice differnece its definatly worth doing. Dont be tempted to burn it off though as this as far as i know is illegal and would reduce its price anyway.
Saint-scooby Posted 4 February, 2011 Author Posted 4 February, 2011 Most of it was armoured, can see why its being nicked all the time now..
