"WTF?" I ask.
Turns out he's discovered that you can buy copper scouring pads at Home Hardware and Costco for less than the price of copper - and he's hoarding this stuff waiting for the price of copper to rise still further. (Seems it's $4.00 +/- a pound now, and one of these ten-packs from Home Hardware also weighs in at a pound but only costs $2.49 - and sometimes less.)

So how high does the price of copper have to get to cover the cost of his garage rental, sales tax, running back and forth, etc.?
