COPPER… THE POOR MAN'S GOLD
Copperhead Copper Trading Company LLC, started out with a crime being committed in the year 2010.
My name is Randy Voepel, Vice President of sales for Copperhead; I am also the Mayor of Santee California. In 2010 the City of Santee opened a beautiful 55 acre park in our town center, with state of the art lighting, ball fields, etc. Immediately, copper thieves descended upon the park in the dark of night and stripped thousands of dollars of copper wiring, buss bars, anything to do with copper. Our great County Sheriff's caught all of the thieves but it cost a large amount of money to replace and repair all of that copper.
Observant fellow that I am, I started thinking about how people were risking their lives thru electrocution, falling and other injuries to get their hands on that shiny metal. I thought to myself "That copper stuff must be valuable, I want some"!
That started my search to buy copper at a reasonable price. Sounds easy right? Well it took me 4 long months of searching to figure out, at least for me, that buying small amounts of copper under $11.00 a pound plus shipping, is almost impossible. I called, Emailed and chased copper mines, metal dealers and any other logical sources of copper. If I wanted 10 metric tons of Copper, in 320 pound Cathodes and paid the $100,000 up front plus shipping they would sell to me, maybe. Many things looked dodgy to me in this Copper game. The key here, is trying to get your hands on a modest amount at a modest price. Finally I was forced to start Copperhead Copper Co. to get Copper under MY conditions. This is America. If you can't find something you want on the market, make a market. That is what I did.
Copper is a commodity and is one of the most used metals on the planet. Gold and silver may be out of the affordability range for many average people, but buying and physically owning Copper is doable for most of us folks. Like Gold and Silver, Copper has never been worth zero in the history of our civilization. If we have hyper-inflation or an economic meltdown, copper trade bars may be even more liquid than gold or silver.
I have found an honest supplier that will sell me the Copper I want, in about $20,000 chunks, money up front. Here is what and how I am selling, prices subject to change reflecting the Copper market:
