Probably nothing...or next to nothing, we were only getting $40-50 for a car body loaded up with steel a few months ago

Screwed.. my missus old man works at a scrap yard and said they are paying 5 bucks a kilo for good, clean copper.

EDIT: This was correct as of Saturday night too.

aye troy it depends how well he cleaned it. the unenvironmental way is petrol and a match then clean with water. maybe it wasnt very clean

[Troy711]

Straight out of the cable sheath it should be perfectly clean though
