Copper Bars are either crafted by smelting Copper Ore, or its found in certain treasure chests in lower level zones. The latter is a more rare find, which makes the Copper Ore ordeal a wiser choice, for sure.

What to do with Copper Bars
Selling on the Auction House
If you’ve got a good amount of them–specifically if you’ve got the Mining profession and have been crafting them without any other profession that find much use in the bars, this is your best bet. Even if you’ve got a small amount–some you find throughout the world, then set them on the Auction House.
Crafting via Professions
If you have an alternate profession which deals with using Copper Bars, then that’s probably how you’re going to want to use them. Keep in mind, though, you’ll more than likely be needing more than one material to craft equipment and other such items.
Test them out, figure out which crafted items sell for either the most or the fastest over the AH. Even with the expansion of Battle for Azeroth being here, lower level items still sell. Maybe not the highest price ever, but lower levels may still need them.
| While crafted items may sell for more, it’s best to check the Auction House beforehand to see what’s selling for how much. Sometimes ore sells for more, sometimes the bars, and then other times the crafted. It’s all realm-dependent.
