    miscalculating scrapper knowledge

    My opinions are formed from the yard I go to and since they are the closest i really have no choice . do things proper with a good load and you make money
    The end buyer dictates what they want , I see now the yards are same as us .When they can sell TV boards any way you give them the boards
    motors that are AL wire they buy them from the scrapper . When the yard becomes accountable the scrapper who might not of sold off some items while no body cared now might be stuck with what was not really true Copper
    AL is AL
    Us scrappers know the items well before others , we need to sell what we know will some day become true value of said item.
    Moral of story don't miscalculate and horde away items that you know are on the edge of truth . You can alway sell metal
    but prices for electric motors @ copper compared to Dirty AL @ true is a something you knew before others
