    They don't have a price sheet? How do they know what to pay you? Not sure about your state but here, prices must be posted. One place I know, posts them on an erasable board above the pay window. Can you call them before hauling stuff in there? That's what a lot of people do around here - call all the yards (some on a daily basis) and haul to whoever quotes the highest price for what they have.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    You have to call and when you call you could never get a straight answer you direct line to the scale house and when you look at other prices online and haul it down to there yard it's always lower then other yards... I will be posting some photos of my stock pile here in a few.

    I would think that prices would HAVE to be posted but one of mine doesn't post either, you have to ask what the days prices are.

    Heavy, what is that in the first pick? Sheet copper?
