    how would we enforce such a law. you can not make people stop being idiots. the scrap yard by me is buying boards for $.15/lb. the sellers have to drive right by me to get to the yard. watch them do that everyday. the yard is well aware of what the boards are bringing. i tried to buy their boards with a low ball offer. figured if they were paying so little i might get the boards for cheap. owner told me exactly what they were getting for the boards. he knows he is ripping the guys and does not care. i run ads, put up a sign and have talked to some of the scrappers. they still drive by.



    education is the answer. but how do you force someone to become educated and then make educated informed choices.

    this business is full of cons and crooks, and getting worse.

    i would love to see laws changing that. how do you propose to do that.
