    It depends on the metal content and weight. It's usually less if you try to pass off photos from Poland as though they were taken in Phoenix and were your stock. That for sure gets you lower prices.

    FYI I've been spending some time teaching the lads on the forum how to follow the providence of images posted on the forum to protect themselves from being defrauded.I must thank you for setting an example with your offer to sell 500 tons of baled cars.

    Furthermore you have not gone back to that original post to set the record straight which questions theres a possibility your still fishing for a sucker.

    If your not willing to set the record straight then I'm going to ask admin to do it for you by deleting your offer to sell.

    You have not made any attempt to set the record straight nor have you gone back to your original posts, three of your four first posts are offering 500 tons of baled cars for sale.

    Now that you've been discovered you have made no attempt to edit or delete those original posts which begs the possibility your still fishing for a gullible sucker..

    If you refuse to remove or edit your offers to sell, I'm going to campaign for justice.

    Offer to sell posts still live.

    Hello,

    I have never said that this picture belongs to my product. I have just purchased a new colmar auto baler and going to bale cars just like shown in this photo once its powered up. I am trying to do my homework in advance by getting the numbers if I bale and sell products very close to what you are seeing in this picture. I am planning to ship this bales overseas from my yard in Phoenix, AZ and looking for domestic buyers for this bales so that I maintain balance of export and domestic supply. I think member ALLOY2 was very fast in his judgement.

    You also did not state that the photo was an example of what you intend to produce.

    This forum has had numerous people show up and attempt to pull the wool over our eyes and others who just want to make folks react.

    When you post read what you have written as if you were someone who does not know you and can only judge you on what you have posted.


    I have noticed some discussions on the drop off or expected drop off of imports by China. Do you have any opinions on this as it may affect your business? 73, Mike

    You said "as shown in the attached picture." And now you're lying about it. You're running some kind of scam. Take it elsewhere.

    I don't understand the reason for your madness when I am claiming that I will soon have products similar to shown in the pictures. Is it bad to do homework or seeing what will be response if I produce something similar and whether it sells in domestic mills. I don't think so. Please stop complaining and making fuss about something that is nothing burger. Very soon I will have my own products picture posted here just to eliminate your negativity.

    So now you are claiming that you will soon have products similar to shown in the pictures. Why didn't you say that in your first post instead of lying and saying that you have 500 tons of car/auto bundles?

    I've received better 419's also known as Nigerian scams.

    If your able to explain this away we'll stop trying to rip you a new one. It's not the picture that bothers me, it's IMMEDIATE SALE and FOB Phoenix AZ that bothers me.

    So let me get this strait - you just bought a baler and don't know what kind of value this adds over un-baled material? Or who your going to sell the bales to?
    Here are my thoughts - baling does not increase the value of the material, only makes it cheaper to transport it and possibly cheaper to shred it. If your transportin buy truck, you should be getting at least 40000 pounds of un-baled material on a dump trailer, bale it and have an overload permit and your looking at 60000 pounds. You've increased the load by 50% and it takes the same truck and the same amount of time to transport. Fuel costs may go up a little. At the shredder itself, they may be able to feed the Shedder more efficiently due to the bales.
    One of the yards that I sell to, bales all of thier material before sending it to thier shredder. I believe they pay a small premium for baled material as it saves them the time from doing it.

    These bales you are going to make are they just car bodies or can the car be full of other scrap metal? What do you need to do in order to bale these? How many people will it take to run the equipment? What is the cost to run the equipment? Can you bale other metals for resale with it? How much did you pay for the car baler?
