You're right Pistone. Its always been frustrating but all the yards in Dayton are like this AFAIK. They've always screwed folks on motors, graded metals, etc. When I had my business in Dayton we only did cars, aluminum wheels and sheet as a sideline. On the other hand, they take anything - even tires mounted on wheels I hear.



Now that I'm in Cincinnati it looks like there are several yards that pay by type so I'm looking forward to learning more about maximizing my scrap.
