I believe the price goes down when the metals are co-mingled. I agree, being in the right frame of mind to part with my treasures doesn't happen often and when it does, steer clear...

Here in South Central PA I get between 50 & 55ยข per pound for crushed aluminum beer/soda cans. Some of the aluminum VW scrap I turned in varied because of other metals in them (bearings, etc.) but there was still money to be made. The hardest part of the job I found was "getting in the mood" to dispose of my "treasures"!!

All the gears were removed due to damage so only the cases were left. I put them in the free section of craigslist yesterday around 5p. In less than 2 hours I had no less than a dozen emails from people offering to come pick up the cases. I responded to the first guy and they were picked up in no time. It got me wondering what the real value is for scrap aluminum. I know scrap is worth money but I am sure it isn't worth the time in small quantities. I also threw 2 16v intake manifolds (throttle body on passenger side) into the box for them to take. So what is a reasonable amount someone can expect to get from these pieces of aluminum? The guy's girlfriend came to pick up the pieces and said he likes to make odd art pieces from car parts.... who knows if that will happen or they will scrap it for money. Either way, I'm ok with whatever they want to do with it :) _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
