I have over 700 lbs of nickel I want to take to the scrap yard. I kinda want to wait until the price of metal goes up. Heck it might be up right now but who knows. Do anyone recommend a good scrap yard? I know Nickel is worth a descent amount. I just don't want to get ripped off. Original cost was over $60 a pound.

All metals are up right now actually... But the only way to tell it is up is call every day for a week and keep checking in with them and judge from there. Never turned in nickle. lol.

Nickel should be worth good money as it is the prmary ingredient (and most important) in stainless. What kind of metal is it, if they are any decent pieces I wouldn't mind having some. I'm not much of a carpenter. All I can make out of wood is a bnonfire however with good metal and the proper machine I can make anything I want.

I got 400 for 70lbs of inconel tie rods from roundbottom recycling a couple months back. Inconel is an alloy with high nickel content. Pure nickel is probably the highest valued non-precious metal around. Be ready to answer questions and perhaps be fingerprinted.

So how do you come across 700lbs of nickel? Rob a metal furnace at a steel mill?

You have to get it grinded and scanned. Nickel is most often a plating for corrosion resistance when stainless is to brittle to use as a material. A scrap yard will grind the surface and scan it so they can see the exact percentage of what metals are in it. Pure nickel will get you a down payment on a house or a block in detroit. Alloys can let you buy new rims/tires.

Find the alloy content then call around to different yards. If its pure its very desirable and easy to broker.
