I guess I have been fortunate so far. On the non ferrous side. I have always weighed my items before taking them, and in general always get just about the same. Some weeks my copper might be off by a pound at most. Only thing I ever get suprised with is what they classify my insulated wire as. one week it will be called #2 insulated copper week. one week its called computer wire, and one week its called < 30 (i think thats what it was listed as) I always pull out my appliance cords , and they are considered #2 but everything else seems to be a shell game.



I never complain, because most times other things work in my favor.
