Show us so we know what your referring to,,Originally Posted by quaz
if your referring to $5.00 a pop, that means $5.00 each.

Meaning if you have 10 pieces of an item, and someone says you can get $50 a pop, means you can get $50 for each piece.

so in that case its referring to populated boards, id say you nailed it, i have alot of populated and unpopulated (green) boards in stock ive been sorting thru

Sorry but that looks to me to just being lazy by not spelling it out.

High Grade board makes sense.
I think it was priced at $4.50 lb
thanks again

Has nothing to do with being lazy. It is a very common accepted term in the E waste industry no different than saying ICW 50% for wire and etc. The reason ISRI has a glossary of legal terms to do business under is that for those shipping or buying from different parts of the world it unifies a common tongue and therefore eliminates misunderstandings and legal contractual issues...

First in first served, ie "Get in first & you get the best one @ $5 a pop."

isri has 1000s of types of scrap listed, the issue is that most people have no idea what the terms mean, when yards buy from scrappers then need to use language that is understandable

Actually a yard doesnt need to do anything. You can take this anyway you choose but you are the type of customer most yards dont want to see. Not because you are knowledgable but because you dont get it..I used to love(sarcasm) when the crackheads would come into my yard quoting me the Comex spot price on copper while they had 15lbs of crap(didnt forget to put in a s)..Our industry needs the supply chain fed through many stages and in each stage money must be made or it doesnt work...
I do know as a fact that I can be a A Hole so no need to think it or politely phrase it differently.
The best customers are the ones that ask questions... I spend a good part of my day on the phone answering questions to all sizes of customers and thats what makes them good customers. You seem to be an interesting guy JG but for a newbie and self proclaimed part timer you should really be asking more questions than answering them...But thats just my opinion

just out of curiosity. no one on this forum knows how that old grading systems works? or no one wants to answer the question.

I always thought "a pop" was what you drank when you ordered "a cheeseburger".
