    Something is up with these guys. At my yard, they told me they would only pay tin price for my small motors because there was too much steel on them. So next time I went in, I had them cleaned up. They said they would only pay tin price for them because they were too small. They paid tin price for my computer and power supply fans because there was too much plastic on them. Last time I took some in they paid motors price. Also last time I went in I thought I was finally getting a fair price for everything and didn't bother to check my receipt. When I got home I realized they didn't even pay me for my aluminum, and they paid tin price for aluminum-copper transformers. I also don't like it when the usual scale guy tosses the tote with my #2 copper on the ground and then rifles through it, causing the copper to fly everywhere. When I go to pick it up and put it back in, he tells me to stand behind the yellow line. Seriously, every time I go there they change the rules. I'm starting to get fed up with going there and having to constantly stay on my toes.



    And as for the so-called price increase, I just went there the other day after getting a text about prices on all metals going up. Prices were actually below what they were about a month ago, the last time I went in there.
