Copper, $3 per pound

by Chris Darling

Copper has gotten so valuable that thieves have been stealing public and private art made from the malleable metal to sell for scrap. I wouldn't suggest going THAT route to make cash, but certainly don't throw away left over copper roof materials, old copper pipes, or small sculptures; it's worth your while to sell them at your local recycling center.
