So, $3.30-3.50 is relatively close to $3.50 per lb.

I did not look up the price.

It has been near $4.00 per lb. before. (not sure that is a spot market price)

I lived in the copper mining district in NM in the 1972-1986 time frame. When I left copper was $.47 per lb.

That is quite a run up.

I think scrap copper was $3.30 a pound when I sold. I still have some scrap copper that I save for just...whatever.
