    Super Dave-
    I am going to try and have a discussion with my Core Buyer. He only recently started buying things that are not true Auto Cores- He started out as a Converter buyer strictly. Up until about a year ago he dealt strictly with Auto Cores and I think he is attempting to expand his business with taking in things like Brass, Copper and Aluminum. Thus far it has been a great relationship and I have even educated THEM about different grades of aluminum. My fear right now is that THEY are being taken advantage of! Rat Corporation is telling them something that is flat out UNTRUE and are getting a huge benefit from anyone they can "dupe."

    The core buyer has been faced with the same situation I have had with Converters when I started out doing cars as a rookie. When I began I couldn't tell you the difference between a Torpedo from a Breadloaf. They have always been fair to pay me for exactly what it was, I am hoping to return that favor.. even if it comes at the suggestion that they NOT sell to "Rat Corporation" There are other yards that will buy from them- They are one of THE most respected core buyers in the area- fair, honest and business done right.. and with a few phone calls I may just be able to facilitate that relationship for my Core Buyer. Right now they have all their eggs in one basket.. and the basket is decaying.. if I can convince them that there are other baskets out there that will be FAIR to them.. it will benefit them and ME in the long run!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
