Trading Copper

How do you negotiate a better copper price as a regular seller?

Short answer: Know the current price and your grade, show that your material is clean and consistent, offer a regular volume, compare offers from more than one buyer and be willing to move your business if the price or service slips, because buyers value reliable, clean supply and will usually pay a little more for it than for an unknown one-off load.
