Im not sure, but I think the yard he goes to pays him cash. This yard is about 2 miles from his residence, but he explained he always feels they are jerking him around with money. I honestly think he just wants to unload this crap as easily as possible for a fair price. I think I can offer that. If he is paying taxes on it, it should be a no-brainer for both of us. I just wondering if its even worth it. The was I see it, I have to sort and clean the pipe for the best price possible. Like Scrapyaherd mentioned, there will be a percentage of material as #2 for a lesser price. If Im going to the yard anyway to drop off other material, this could be a little extra bonus on top minus what ever my time for cleaning the pipe is worth.
Even if he gets paid cash there is still a receipt..same as gettin check...the scrap yards arent gonna pay the taxes for ya!
