Thanks Guys!!
At least I know I'm not crazy...well, ok, in this matter

I dont really follow scrap prices, for years I got $.01 per pound for iron. I scrapped a few tons a while back and got around $.07 so it was a big jump.
I know the yellow metals went up just not sure how much. I buy bronze for work and that has gone up A LOT in the last several years but not not six times. I was looking at lead a while back and thats gone up quite a bit also.
His price just struck me as extreme.

Thanks!
