There is an element of speculation involved and if the quantities that are in your possession is large then if you are hit with a price drop you would tend to lose much money. Hence many scrap metal dealers tend to dispose off their stocks and take the chances rather than holding onto stock unless they are very sure that there would be a price increase but that again would be not the best way to go, if the speculation goes haywire there would not be anything that would save you.

There is no reason to believe that collectors who bring what they could get their hands on would have the financial capacity to hold large stocks of scrap metal waiting for the prices to rise in Hobart, Australia in 2017/2018/2019 but on the contrary they would be better off and their thinking more prudent if they could dispose off their stocks and purchase new stocks.
In any case they would make their return and that could be average or they could make a real kill and for that the heavens would need to open up and lady luck would need to smile upon them.
Business does not happen like that and if it does then everyone would be holding onto what they have, waiting anxiously for the Sun to shine on them every day at every hour which is not what happens generally in business.

There is no dearth in variety as every type of metal is available in Hobart and the collection of scrap is a very well organized and streamlined operation involving many and most of them earn good money and enjoy a decent living because metals of all types are very precious commodities that the world needs in large quantities and cannot do without.
The list is very long and if one is to tabulate the types of metal that would be available it would be a very impressive list too and with Gold right on top but only available in small quantities and that too only when you extricate it from other objects because Gold jewellery being thrown away by its owners would be a very rare occurrence in today’s context.

Due to the fluctuation of the prices of metal it is a matter of watching the market from morning till night and that too only till the Hobart and Australian markets close but when it does the Western markets open and what happens there would have a very direct bearing on the Hobart Australia market even though we Australians would fast asleep in our slumber.
So if you are a dealer in scrap metal and a big player in the business it would be difficult for you to sleep because when you get up something terrible would have happened elsewhere and the metal market generally for a specific metal would have run through the roof and if you had a large quantity of it sold it out a day before or have a large stock n hand then you would be laughing all the way to your bank.
That would be a very happy end indeed but it could be the other way round too if the prices drop and you take a big hit. It would be a gamble if you feel that you could stock scrap metal and make your money but on the contrary it would be prudent to make your money everyday rather than trying to play the market and lose a huge sum of money which could put you out of business too.
It has happened to many in the business in Hobart because speculation in this business could be dangerous and it is similar to the oil, Gold or other commodities market and some have burnt their fingers very badly.
There is no way that metal prices would stabilize and if anyone thinks so it would not be a very educative decision but a very foolish one at that.
Take what you can and move on with the next consignment for the next never try to speculate as things could go right or terribly wrong and if you are wrong nothing could help other than God Himself.
Risks should be taken in business but the scrap metal market is volatile and not a place for you to pitch the tent of speculation.


Dealing in scrap metal is a very flourishing business in Hobart as most of it, if not all are taken to the furnace and melted to be recycled or reused again. It is cheaper for manufacturers who use metal for their products to purchase recycled metal than buying virgin metal extracted from the earth, which is where metals are generally found.
The extraction process is understandably costlier than using recycled metal but there could be one hitch that is the quality of recycled metal would be lower than that of virgin metal because it could be mixed with other impurities but considering the difference in price the exercise is economically viable and profitable for all.
In Australia too, the scrap metal business is flourishing and is believed to be running into millions of dollars and there are many indulging in it and having their fingers on its pulse
