I had some pure copper bars I wanted to sell. 1-5lb bar and 10-1lb bars. I asked Microsoft Copilot for some recommended dealers b buying at the best prices and they (Gershow Recycling aka A&J Scrap Metal (Freeport, NY), were the recommended one at the top of the list.
Yesterday, 8/3/2026, I brought my copper bars to them. Copper market price was approx $6.25.
They offered me $3.01 per lb. Also, my receipt show they weighed my 15lbs at 14lbs, which I didn't notice until I got home.. The weight on the bars were clearly marked. I settled on the price, $41.00, because I didn't want to drive around all over Nassau county to find another scrap metal dealer.
If you have any thoughts on selling scrap metal to anyone on Long Island, you can make your own mind up from my account of what took place. read more
