In the world as I know it the rule of thumb on finders fees start at 10% in one case I put a deal together for a scrap yard in BC that did not result in a finders fee but an extended frienship.

The deal resulted in that yard acquiring a regular bi weekly pick ups of scrap aluminum cuttings from shear cropping from a trailer manufacture, I knew that we were moving and this did not fit into my plans so I passed it forward.

Now that I live in Manitoba I still reap the rewards from that deal where I'm able to send samples through the mail for an XRF analysis and have the results emailed back to me.



Most would say thats peanuts, yes on the surface it would appear as such. But you have to take into consideration the whole picture then ask yourself who have the majority of the scrap industry cornered, I assure you it's not the Swed's from where my ancestry originates from.

In time you will discover that the old yards are indirectly all related through blood or marriages., if you make a yard friend on the West Coast this will be extended to the East Coast.
