    scrap yards rip you off, sell to a core buyer
    core buyers visit almost all repair shops they can find
    the core buyer i sell to carries like 10 grand or more with him, how do you compete?
    there are a lot of different cats, and you have to know them by sight or you might as well shred your money

    You should say that SOME scrap yards will rip you off. I personally work on $3-$10 margins per cat. I live by the addage that you can shear a sheep for life, but you can only skin it once. So if I ripped a customer off he would take his business elsewhere if he found out. Then where would that leave me? I would have gotten it over on him once, but he would have never came back.

    Yes "core buyers" have the best price, but you will have to start with a few dozen to get their attention. Most guys on here come by them one or two at a time.
