You should be a scrap metal dealer not a scraper

Well the problem with selling every thing to one yard is simple, if I were checking you into my yard just by what you are selling I would know if you were selling me everything you have, now let's forget about the yards that are let's say not so forth coming with market changes, I am going to talk in scrap yard owner manager terms a little, ok I have a strong out for a ITEAM let's say I booked a order for three loads 120,000 lbs of electric motors and because of this order I got a higher price than the current market so in order to fill this order in the time frame I have I could pay more than my competition and make more, so I could put out some filers to the dealers that I need electric motors and this is my price. Now if you become coplaceint and sell every thing to one yard you would not know about this high price, now I am just using this as a example, I might have a strong out for let's say aluminum rims, or the guy on the other side of town needs some harness wire to fill his order, dealing with different yards will give you exposure to all the different prices for the same ITEAM. Let me also say that when a yard knows you are not selling them everything they will pay you the higher prices so that you keep bringing them material. Because they know you know the prices. But you have to have good weights of your material. Or it does not matter to them. The idea of seeing the guys at the scrap yard daily, and thinking that they are treating you good because of your loyalty well you are kidding yourself. Some times they just cannot pay you the higher prices because you will sell it to them anyway. We make our money on the sale of goods, do not become complacent, be informed and do not hesitate to get on the phone and find out that's going on in your neck of the woods. Happy Scraping 1956.
