    You are the only one who can answer your question. How much work is involved in getting the material. How are you going to determine the weight before going to the yard or you can basicly do a percentage but some don't want to wait to get paid. This leaves you with an eyeball estimate of what the customer has to sell. Experience will tell you what to pay for and how much to pay. The variables are too many for anyone to answer your question with any accuracy. I expect that is why you got answers that seemed unhelpful. Mike.
