Hey, now here's a deal.  This fellow is offering 100 troy ounce bars of copper for only $325.  Since when did copper start selling by the troy ounce.  Precious metals are sold by the troy ounce.  Problem is the last time I checked copper was selling at roughly 21 cents an ounce.  Hardly a precious metal.  Making a 100 ounce bar worth about three dollars at the most.  Not saying the scrap dealer will give you that much.  Fact is, a hundred ounce bar, even if we are talking 31.1 gram ounces, is still barely worth three bucks.  I am sure there are much more profitable ways to invest in copper.
