This reminds me of banks giving out free coolers when you open an account. They make big money off of those customer drives with overdraft fees down the road. The cynic in me would check around and see what the other yards are paying. Hopefully this yard wants to get more business and is spending money on pure advertising. It's possible they're paying less though, and a part of that savings is passed on to you in stuff like this. If you find the prices are in line with others, then great! And one can never have too many magnets! Or T-Shirts to get dirty!



Personally, I'd like a free checking account that earns interest with no fees, and I'd like a scrapyard that with honest, friendly workers that pays a good (or even great) price for my scrap. They can keep the freebies.
