    i have the problem of space
    though i would love to be able to accumulate my good stuff & take it in less frequently than i do



    if i leave my stuff outside, its going to get stolen
    and indoors, well -not going to happen

    so i have to take it in when ive got anything under 10 lbs/5kg's

    but i HAVE experienced dealer pricing by mistake
    i went to another yard that i dont go to regularly
    they told me to drive over the weighbridge & go to the back

    there was another guy there who ran a small scrap yard & he had brought in decent amounts of all non ferrous
    when he was done, they loaded my stuff onto the scales & i was blown away by the prices i received
    it was close to 20% more than my other yard- on everything

    but the sad part was at the end
    -the guy at the scale realised that i was not supposed to be there & told me that i had to use the other scale the next time i came in.
