new customer, going to be tough.

If you know what ou pay for low grade and what you pay for high grade take a chance on first load with a price somewhere in the middle. Then let him know that if he separates the boards you can pay according to the grades they are separated in. Tell him to set up three boxes, low,mid,high grade according to how you buy. A little lose up front on first box may turn into a big win down the road.

Then you have to educate the yard people on how the stuff separates and some just don't/won't learn cause it's not in their job description. Good luck if it works out.
