    It also can be a IMO situation
    I'd say the scrapper who deals with Ton's at a time wants the most he can get for the time needed to drive the Rig to the yard .
    But guys like me , over all , have a pace a consistent pace , If i need put an extra 50 pounds to equal what was a month ago fine .

    In general I sell batches ( if I don't get lucky with some mass weight of steel )
    I hunt & go with the odds of finding a little of every thing .
    450 # mix 100# AL 200 # short 25# copper some motors ,
    Whats the real loss problem $10 or $12

    The day we can't find is the day I'll complain
