Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Wilmington despite the typical seasonal slowdown. As we head into winter 2025, scrap metal demand usually drops, but our buyers are actively purchasing cars to maintain inventory. This means competitive pricing for sellers right now. We're averaging $520.00 per vehicle in your area, with trucks and SUVs commanding premium prices due to their weight.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, late fall and winter can actually work in your favor. With fewer people selling during the cold months, there’s less competition and more motivated buyers. We make fair offers year-round, basing our prices on real market value, not just scrap weight.
