(Dont have pics so I will tell prices)
Aluminum Painted $0.25 a pound at 43.5 pounds - $10.88
Aluminum wheels dirty $0.33 a pound at 122.5 pounds - $40.42
Dirty Aluminum $0.10 a pound at 3.6 pounds - $0.36
Aluminum Painted (again) $0.23 at 10.20 pounds - $2.35 (I got a price bump for the other painted alum.)
Yellow brass $1.33 a pound at 11.9 pounds - $15.83
Steel #1 unprepared $95 GT at 439 pounds - $18.62
Steel #1 HMS $100 GT at 8.9 pounds - $0.40
Stainless Steel $0.23 a pound at 1 pound - $0.23
1 pallet - $0.50 each

Total comes to $92.17!!

What made your aluminum wheels dirty? Was it just the valve stems and wheel weights? Or are you able to sell aluminum rims with tires on them? And its cool that your scrapyard will buy pallets even if it was only 50 cents, as you are going to the yard anyways

Are you moving or travelling to NY? NYC or Upstate? $100 doesn't go very far in the city. But being from CA, I'm sure you're used to that
