Individuals buy metallic things made in Armenia during the USSR period.
APA bureau reports that door-to-door traders offer AZN 40 for
nickel-plated legs of beds made in Armenia 30-40 years ago. The
collected bed legs are sold to a certain enterprise in Baku. The
enterprise melts the legs and uses the precious metals in plating
various products. Despite the sudden out of the blue offer, the
population is careful to sell the bed legs. They think that the
nickel-plated bed legs may contain precious metals such as palatine,
gold and silver. A metallic things collector who wanted to be
anonymous told APA that the traders want to cheat the people by
offering AZN 40 for the legs.
"It is not the real cost of the metallic things. It is not true that
the traders sell the collected bed legs to a certain enterprise in
Baku, they melt the things in a local meting shop and separate the
platinum". Price of metals has fallen in Ganja lately. Copper per
kilo is AZN 2.2, aluminum per kilo is AZN 1.2, yellow metal per kilo
is AZN 1.2, and iron per kilo is 60 kopecks. A metal collector shop
told APA that the price fell as the people don't sell the metals and
wait to sell when the price is high. /APA/
