got my first strings skunk box today from a BB&T branch, Had a brinks box earlier this year. I believe we're going to start seeing the effects of the supper sorter around here know (eastern NC).

If Brinks is really sorting these for such a small premium, who's to say you couldn't make some calls and buy some yourself. I'm sure if they did $5m for a $65k premium, they would do $10k for a $400 premium.

Just make sure to post the contact info for the rest of us after you make your purchase. ;)

I see a new tread starting.....GROUP BUY SIGNUP FOR A 25 TON LOAD OF COPPER PENNIES. :D

It was pretty easy for the dollar freeloaders with their credit cards. It's easy enough for the penny drivers. We need our own penny drive, with a legitimate cause consisting of donated zincs and such.

I've received several brinks boxes lately full of zincs - not new, but apparently sorted. I got $25 boxes from multiple different banks (all brinks boxes) and they were all like that.

I'm sticking to my $50 bags from the CU...

You have to figure what the building capital opportunity cost if you are not factoring in rent. Im sure you know the square footage, but we are talking a building opportunity cost, utilizes, He's not using a pallet jack to move that stuff around and he probably has someone doing it (labor cost). Sure he might have internet access , phones, computers, servers. Not that those are significant costs in relation to the whole deal but recurring carrying costs none the less...


I believe that this would fit into a 4000-5000 sq ft building. That really isn't that big.

If you could stack 2 ton pallets 5 high, that is 10 tons in 14sq feet. Multiply that by 160 stacks and you are using 2240 sq ft.
switching to 1 ton pallets 5 high and you need 4480 sq ft.

I just picked up 2 boxes from Wells Fargo (loomis boxes) and this is the 2nd time we have found very little copper (total of 4 boxes) I too will stick with the bags I get from my CU.
