    Make sure you negotiate with the scrap yard. If there is anywhere near as much stuff as you were told, you should be able to get a higher price.

    You and I both. Unfortunately, metal is really low right now (7.5 cents/lb) so, unless we can do a 50/50 or 60/40, on net, it won't be worth doing, as I wont make really nothing. But we shall see.

    Yeah, I am calling them first thing in the morning and seeing what can be done. Hopefully they can cut a deal.

    I wish! I am hoping to get out there tomorrow or by Friday at the very latest to try and get a load or 2 and some pictures. Then with the pictures, do what I can to discuss a better pricing deal. Regardless if they do or not, not like I will have much of a choice.

    GB as much as you haul you shoulda been off the basic price sheet a long time ago, i get a minumum of %20 on all items but on breakage i get sometimes double, regardless when you negotiate your price take enough donuts for the whole yard
