Yet another valuable lesson...sort of.

then the third trip my haul of 840 lbs was graded as "tin" giving me a massive 14 dollars

The body pieces are considered tin as they are less than 1/8" thick. But $14.00!!! that's less than 2 cents a pound! $33 a ton! That's terrible.

hek, i'm in the middle of nowhere here and .06/pond is still the lowest level/price you'll get for anything metal/steel

I'm not sure where the receipt went...but it was 14 and a little change...yeah there are only two scrap yards within about 50 miles...and its more of an agricultural area...Id be willing to venture a guess that there is not much competition...considering the positive response that I got when i went around to all of the local businesses asking about e-waste...there is maybe one other person around this area doing the same thing...still havent met them...lol...another question: what do you guys get for decent boards from monitors and tvs?...again id have to find the receipt but i think they only give about 2 cents per pound and label it as brass shred.
