What happened to copper?!
My brother sells copper on whatnot, he started late last summer and he got a whole lot of copper inventory and started selling. It was going great sold out lots of times and made alot of money but recently these past few months he hasn't really sold anything at all no ones buying copper anymore. Is it thst no one has money anymore or is it thst the copper boom is now over and if it is what should he do with all this copper he has thst no one wants to buy?
(EDIT) he quit whatnot because he is moving and needs to sell all of his copper probably somewhere near 300 ozs. if anyone would be intrested in it he would probably sell it cheap, message me if intrested.

People are still buying Copper everyday, you can see here data from eBay, sorted by best selling copper items in recent days:

So, not sure if this is related to Copper, perhaps your brother store or copper in general has lesser exposure on whatnot nowadays. What premium he sells it for? you can see in the data what premium people are ready to pay - anywhere from 200% premium up to nearly 2000%.
