An Update for all of you. I'm still FURIOUS about the way I was treated at my 10+ year yard.. Today I had my first significant run in of material-To the Core Buyer.. and I brought it all! Apparently the only thing my core buyer is NOT interested in.. is Aluminum cans. Other than that.. as they say "It's On Like Donkey Kong" And because of this situation I'm actually being paid BETTER.. and with much more hospitality!
Core Buyer Vs Old Yard Pricing:

Aluminum Cans: Core Buyer N/A Old Yard $0.40
Brass: Core Buyer $1.50 Old Yard $1.20
Clean #2 Wire: Core Buyer $1.00 Old Yard $0.70
Wiring Harness: Core Buyer $0.75 Old Yard $0.70
Clean #1 Copper: Core Buyer $2.50 Old Yard $2.10
Dirty #1 Copper: Core Buyer $2.25 Old Yard $1.90
Copper/Alum Rads: Core Buyer $1.00 Old Yard $1.10
Copper/Brass Rads: Core Buyer $1.75 Old Yard $1.20
Alum Rads: Core Buyer $0.35 Old Yard $0.25
Radiator Ends Copper: Core Buyer $0.50 Old Yard $0.20
Electric Motors: Core Buyer $0.20 Old Yard $0.10
Sheet Alum: Core Buyer $0.45 Old Yard $0.30



So basically, now the ONLY reason to ever go back to the old yard.. is to drop Aluminum Cans.. which is Ironic.. as that is where the hornet's nest got SMACKED in the first place!
