I just finished read the thread by PickerBenny about escarp pricing.

http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/scrap...ap-prices.html



There is a recycling company about 45 minutes away from me that has everyone from the area going there. There prices are horrible and across the board there prices are near the same as that thread.

If this company sells small motherboards at 1.25/lb for instance and in the buyer/seller section Ewasted (for example) buys at 1.90/lb. I could buy at 1.30/lb to stay safe. Though a lot of computer repair places in area said that my prices would have to be better than .10 or .15 cents for them to switch. I offer free pickup and the other place does not. How do I price myself better without killing my margin.

Do I offer better pricing to companies and keep prices just .05 to .10 cents above with general public? What do I do???
