It was sky high for a while but it has plummeted again. The Chinese were buying all the scrap they could get their hands on so the price went up, but they seem to have enough now so it has collapsed.

any idea what its plummeted too, only im thinking of scrapping the coach, but it would need to be towed proffessionally to aberdeen, thatll probably be about 100 plus , the coach once stripped of wood, would weigh 7 tons, and it has an aluminium body, i want enough profit to build a workshop /shed, about 12 ft by 8 ft, so im trying to workout if i might just as well sell it for 200 pounds, im just thinking about it really
