I’m guessing this is why most yards don’t post their prices online or via iScrap. They figure if you don’t call ahead and you show up, then you might just say screw it and take whatever they’re paying. I know the main yard I go to pretty much always has the best tin/steel prices (best hours too) so I rarely bother to call. I only ask when I’m calling around for the non-ferrous prices because I already have them on the phone. It’s the non-ferrous stuff that fluctuates and varies widely from yard to yard. When I got copper and aluminum and motors and whatnot, I always call before I haul!
