Looking for buyer for JUNK CARS -- Upstate, NY

I am looking for a buyer in the Albany, Schenectady, Troy area that will buy Junk cars at $14-$20 per hundred weight pricing whole or partial.
if you can offer this type of pricing please let me know. I do have the ability to supply a steady stream of cars to you.

On another note...

Can someone tell me if there is somewhere to check what the scrap yards are getting from each car so we can negotiate better pricing for all of us?
If they are paying $9 you know they are making at least $30. So why not if they are making $30 we get 70% as we do all the leg work?!?!
and they just take it in and sell it to someone else.. HOW DO I SELL DIRECT to who they sell to?

Let me know... I am SERIOUSLY interested.

Not sure if those figures are correct...I know one of my yards dismantles the cars to make better money but they invest a lot of time and equipment into the operation

2 problems here your math is WAY OFF and 95% of the yars won"t deal with a small time guy some (most have restrictions) as guy with car trailer gets in way when forlkift can move 6-10 crushed cars at a time on the trucks they bring in

if your still intrested just look up "auto shredding or auto shredders on google"

1st off: Welcome to the forum.
Secondly.. The answer to your question is fairly simple. They are able to ship Semi-Loads of cars at a time and get "Truckload" Pricing, we all get "LTL" or "Less than Truckload" Pricing. They deal in high volume, we are the sole truckload/trailerload pullers.

They take more risk than we do: You get a car and you buy it on the premise of it paying $240/ton, when you get to the yard.. It is $220/ton- On a 3,000 lb vehicle- you lost $30 bucks.. They bought 50 cars today.. They lost $1500 if the mill drops it $20/ton on them. More Risk=Greater Reward!

They have employees, machinery, overhead, insurance to pay for-- for an entire yard.. You and I only have our gas and time.

Regarding getting better prices at your yard: Here is how you do that. Hopefully you have a yard or yards that you frequent.. you know some of the guys that run the scale or possibly the owner. If you approach them and say I can bring you XYZ Number of cars a month.. and you do. They will increase your payout. I know guys who have agreements with the yards that if they bring in 10 cars a month- they get $10/ton more than the guys who pull in one a month. I know guys that have contracts to bring in 30 cars a month- they get about $25-$30 more a ton than scale price.. BUT they have to "put up" they HAVE to meet their quota, or the agreement gets re-negotiated!

Hope this helps!

To skip the middle man, you need tractor trailer loads of crushed cars.

My suggestion is to find a pick and pull or similar, they generally pay $1-4 more per hundred that a straight up scrap yard.

With your volume, I would suggest selling them as incomplete and remove the converters, batteries, aluminum rims, and anything else you feel is worth your time.

Since I can't do anything.... red flag......
