Weighing in scrap metal?!

<< < (6/6)

The Smiths:
I had a Jeep Cherokee shell took away 23rd Dec (promised it would go for Christmas) - got £30.

Probably weighed 1/1.1 tonnes - so looks like I got a fair price - weighed one in earlier in the year and got £82 - didn't have the time to load on trailer and take myself for £50 - so thought it was OK.

The Smiths:
About 3 or 4 years ago prices on aluminium were rising that much that a mess up in design actually created a profit.

We were buying aluminium extrusions from China.

Designs were made, 20 tonnes ordered, by the time we got it delivered sales had changed minds and the sections were no longer needed.

These sections were scrapped and the price of the scrap was about £50 a tonne more than we paid - the price had risen that much in 6 months :shock:

robert francis:
that worked out well in the end. lol, normally those sort of order go really bad your normally stuck with it

marky:

I would have thought it would have been the other way round, but there you go! I think I'll hold onto it for a while and take it to Bacons
