If I hauled into Winnipeg 3 1/2 hours from me cas are $190.00 ton, Jack is a 1 hr trip and he pays $150.00, wants gas tanks holed no stuffer material in the cars but lets me come in after hours. Jack likes to show his suporiority over others and has his share of head games - rules change quick.
Brandon is about the same traveling time as Jack's but more chances of getting pulled over and checked out by the D.O.T, they're open monday to friday 8:00 am / 5:00 pm they pay $140.00 ton, I can stuff my cars and no fluids removed. As soon as the road bans are off I'll be hauling into Brandon where the rules and policeys are carved in stone.
What I'm really after is the catylitic converters, my lack of knowledge indentifying and priceing would have sunk my ship within months bankrupting me. The scrap truck puts me on even ground, eventually I will have enough cats to send into a refinery.
Because catylitics are my main interest about the only things I remove from a car are aluminum rims and gasoline for lawn cutting and tilling the garden
I'm sitll in the process of reclaiming some platinum from a 100 lb mixed catylitic batch, its in the filtering stage. Once this is completed I will post some pictures of the PGM black powders along with weights recovered from the leach. The black precipitant will be a mix of platinum/palladium with a small bit of rhodium fom which a sample will be taken then sent out for an assay.
I will say this though cat buyers with all their claimed knowlege and the money they throw around are clueless, any sensible man working a prospect mining property does his homework by drilling test holes and sending in
core samples for assay. In this case you could look at the catylitic as the drill core sample taken from hardrock.
Vehicle maintinance, diving conditions and age of the core sample would all have a bearing of the values remaining. It matters not to me if the catylitic is an OEM or aftemarket.
Selling whole cats or barrels of comb still keeps you in the dark side of this business.
