Scrap steel is $4-500 a ton now. May be the reason they will take a car

A quarter a pound? It is more like 3 cents for mixed steel according
to the scrappers and my masonry contractor is getting 8 cents for
clean rebar cutoffs.

Guy told me today that the local scrap dealer is gettign the $4-500 ton. I
have not bought any steel for at least 8 months. But scrap sheet copper was
$4 a pound for an art project at Alco Iron and Metal in San Leandro 6 months
ago.
