Re: [Amc-list] Saving 258/304/360 blocks. Scrap or sell at Cordova?

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jesse,

I'm planning on going to Cordova, I really hope it works out this year.
I'm not bringing much with me, I hope to have most of it out of my meager
shop
by then. At the current scrap prices, unfortunately it looks very lucrative
to sell the
stuff as scrap, rather than have it under my feet all the time.

hope to see you at Cordova,

Armand
