This is why my business endeavors have exploded. My competition if you could call them that consists of fly by night scrappers and companies who's policy is to charge a monthly bill, show up every other month and cherry pick the things they take and leave the rest in the customer dumpster. Then there's the computer "recyclers" with drop off bins and sites all over the state who think it's ok to resell a computer that's ten years old to unsuspecting folk for a 150 bucks. But like anything, bad businesses tend to take fast dives to the wonderful place called bankruptcy. Best thing you can do is confront the owner or simply not give them your business. Also, let fellow scrappers know whats going on, there's a level of ignorance that develops when you frequent the same yard for years and years. Most scrappers have no idea in cases like these that the prices are 30% less than the next town over, creatures of habit we are.
That's one thing I like about this forum, there's enough scrappers in my area that if I get wind of a honey pot scrap yard I can give the place a shout out and it will make a difference.
