    trouble is you are taking a 90 cent loss per lb on the low grade boards. they are hard to sell and you cant afford to ship them. they stack up quickly

    If the percentages were in your favor and you had a buyer in the .20-.30 lb range for the low grade I could see you making out ok at a 1.00 a lb. My local yard pays .20 on low after I cherry pick the components off them.
