Scrap metal has become very big business, and the rising values have lead to many criminals turning their hand to stealing a lot of valuable metal such as copper to quickly sell on. Therefore it is always worth checking exactly where the metal came from before you pay top dollar for it, as you could end up handling stolen goods which is liable to be confiscated and returned to the previous owner, leaving you out of pocket.
Like mentioned earlier, the prices are always changing and so to get the most accurate answer it is best to ask a scrap metal yard directly. If you are not happy with the prices they quote then it could be worth sitting on it for a while as the prices can change a fair bit in the matter of months, afterall commodity prices are reaching new heights every day on the back of demand from emerging economies such as China.
