Melt them into a bar and sell to a refinery, I should have made that distinction. I don't really deal with scrap yards myself except when I'm offered some type of scrap the big refiners don't like to process. You could make a very lucrative business melting your metals and casting into bars to sell to refineries. They would probably melt it over again, take a pin sample and pay out on assay, or they might drill the bar, assay and pay. If you do the initial melt though, and are dealing with a good refiner, you will make more money selling your metals this way, than to a scrap yard.
Your local scrap yard is a middle-man, anytime you can cut them out and deal directly with a refinery you will make your profit, and theirs.
