When you think you know it all

Well as most of you guys and gals know I have been in the scrap business for quite a few years, and the thing about this business is there are always ways to increase your profits, I wanted to share this with you and hopefully you can take advantage of it also, so I have built my business around the thought process of getting and keeping customers that produce scrap on a regular basis,I have a bunch. Of auto dealer ships that we service on a weekly basis, a few we deal with the parts manager and a lot more that let the auto tech's keep the parts that they replace and sell them them self,I am telling you guys this because it pretty easy to go into the dealerships and buy the scrap right from the techs after asking the service manager if he minds if you can walk thru the work area, it does not mater to me who we deal with as long as we get the scrap.So we buy all the cats, and what ever we can from these guys.So we had built up a nice amount of rack and piñons and they were starting to take up to much room because I didn't know what to do with them and didn't want to just put the in with the shred. So I do a little research and find a core buyer, a real core buyer that goes by the numbers on the cores. We also put on the a/c compressors and take a ride to see what the story is, sure enough they handle each piece by hand and put the numbers into there computer data base, well with out going into the dollar amount of the load we avg $75.00 for the rack and pinion and 23.00 each for the a/c comp so find your self a core buyer and turn those five dollar rack and pinion buys into some real good profits, not to mention the a/c compressors we pay three bucks for and get a avg of 23.00 each. Much better that the price of number 1 steel.
