I did read that, and I don't see how it can be interpreted as the yard scamming the customer. Olddude told the yard he has pewter, they told him they don't really buy pewter but he could throw it in with his cast aluminum. At our yard we do the same thing, except we pay brass price for it.

It doesn't sound like the yard lied to olddude about the material he had, they just told him what they were willing to offer him for it. It's on the seller to decide if they think they can find a better price. I don't see where the scam comes in.

Wow...that is quite the tirade. I suggest you develop thicker skin if you think you can dish it out but not take it. After the rebuttal below I will be the bigger man and let this thread die.

To the moderators: I apologize for starting a sh*t storm, but I will not let anyone insinuate or imply that my business ethics are subpar without getting bristled and strongly refuting them.

"Where did i imply you were ripping off your customers?"

How about right here:

"I would not sell below $7 per pound delivered or your getting taken advantage of."

or maybe here:

"I am sure they do buy it at $3-$5 thats a 150%-200% profit margin for the yard."
