*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Would you think 36.99 is an appropriate BIN price with free S&H for 10 lbs? I'm asking because my son is having trouble with his utilitiy bills and has bust into his copper stash. I just think he could do better. But he needs quick cash.

All I can say is good luck. I tried selling my copper hoard here on CCF in a BIN and in an auction, no sale on either. So $800 face went to dump banks

I too say good luck. Way to many people misunderstand statements like melt values, bulk values, metal by the pound values, etc. What I mean is you hear people all the time saying Silver is $XXX or Gold is $XXX. The main problem with this is just who is going to pay those prices. You can say I have a car worth $100,000 but if you go to sell it and the only offer you get is $100, guess what that means for your cars value. This is the same with coins, stamps, houses, beer cans, etc. All are really only worth what someone will pay for them, not what is listed on a list somewhere.

Doesn't mean anything, but he has 30 views & 5 watchers. John1, wish I knew. I think the bullion buyers pretty much stick to the big-boys. There's this guy selling 3 rolls as a lb; and he get 2.95 + 4.95 shipping.

I don't pay shipping, they do. But my fees run 10% for final value and paypal combined....so were are talking $55 profit.(Please note, Powersellers get a reduced final value fee)
