You should be a scrap metal dealer not a scraper

I go to the same yard all the time. Why? Because i get tier 3 pricing on everything. If a yard elsewhere pays higher I tell them to match or else my metal is going, there plus all my future metal. This makes them pay higher to ensure I bring back my metal. I also use my large storage of copper and aluminum as a bargaining token ( If you dont pay this you wont see my copper of 1000 lbs) Plus I go in every day almost.



My question is how do you find what the scrapyards are getting per pound or per ton? Or at least a average of what the commodity is going for. This would be a great bargaining chip if you knew about what they were getting.
