    With the short steel, maybe it was a new guy who didn't know what he was doing when grading your stuff, or maybe it has to be bigger than a few nuts and bolts. And as for the weights, maybe your scale is off.

    Once again, I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe they said that stuff. Maybe there's more to the story
    This really happened today / Todd was the man who said it all to me & he was at the scale I have been scraping for 3 years and yes I have always had a pleasant time selling there even though i sell most to Weissman but once in a wile i give him a shot. truth is he pays less in some ways but some times more , LOOK he took my 20 pounds of AL and it was not on the receipt he then said he tossed it to trash - thats BULL - he stole my $10 dollars - & he made $20 clean - come on man if he took the tiny amt of ten he must really pull fast ones as thats a true sign of stealing , big or small it's all the same to some people and often they are the very rich that are very much out of touch.
    I am NOT making it up, why would i have the need . they have cameras the picture will tell it all - the AL was on the scale and not on the receipt I sat on my knees chopping the AL off boards , That kinda money hits the hart. All AL hits the shredder any way so a screw once here or there is nothing to be ashamed over mine was 99% clean.
