Scrap price question

Bones · Mar 1, 2010

What is a good price to start scraping some cars? I heard it is up to $120/ton here in Iowa.

I have no idea if that is good or bad. Helping someone out that is in need of cheddar to clear out their "back 40"

Bones, steel is way up again. :woot:

anything over $100 is good enough to start hauling. Last winter I got $25 a ton.
last trip I got $130 a ton plus a 14 rear and 3 1410 2 piece shafts. It was a good day tater.

If he just wants it clean, I'll come up, stay at your place, drink your beer and haul them all in after cutting the cats out and rolling out of town and flip you $100 :flipoff1:

Yeah well they NEED the $$ so hiring it out is not gonna happen.

They have some OLD chevy truck in a shed. I asked Wyatt about it, but forget the year. That has to go as well.
