I consider copper and aluminum more of a commodity then precious metal. I did tons of scrapping in my day. Even gold and silver scrapping. Ive refine gold as well. Theres nothing wrong with copper otger then youd need a garage full to make any money.
Commodity! That's the description I was looking for when I was writing this post, I just couldn't pick that word out of my brain. I sure don't stack it for the money, in fact I give most of the copper I order away to others.
