It's not always a bad idea to let them set the price, if it's too high then you can always barter.
Very true, but if he would have come in with a price of even $1 per pound and given the guy $10 he would have been even more happy, and much more eager to find more junk to get rid of. I'm all about taking peoples low offers but if it is someone who potentially could keep me supplied regularly i would have paid a bit more to show that calling me would really be worth his while. I'm not knocking Mick, i think it's a GREAT score. I do however agree that next time he should take a scale, sometimes it's really hard to judge the weight on this stuff when you're just looking at a box. A scale ensures you never over pay.
