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.Quote:

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...

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 understandableQuote:

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
