    This is part of the game that is scrapping.

    Prices change. Weekly, monthly, hell at one point as KZ briefly touched it was every day.

    When I started Gold was at 1600 per toz. An was going up. That was a few years ago. We've watched it go down, slightly up, then stagnate, then go up an down again.

    Folks that do this know prices change often, an we've learned to deal with it an make the proper changes so we all stay profitable. You can play the shell game with yards, but you'll eventually see yards in certain radius of each other will be close or different by a couple cents here an there. All the yards near me are mostly feeders to the one big one.

    What i'm trying to say this game we play is like a roller coaster. There's ups an downs. You gotta stay the course though, or you'll be quitting every time a price drops.

    My protip of the day : Adapt an overcome. If your material isn't fetching what you want, it may be time to look for new materials, an new niche.

    This business isn't for the faint of heart.

    I wish you luck, never fun when prices drop.
