    If someone assumes all tons to be 2000 lb, then they could think they are getting more per lb than they really are. All in all, looks like pretty good prices though, Benny.

    I sure missed the weight badly, gotta go back to school on that one.
    Oh wow...
    I feel like this is something I should have learned in week 1. I have NO CLUE about the difference of Net vs Gross....
    **Had no clue

    Some yards pay by the nt - net ton, and some pay by the gt - gross ton, here in the states.
    Your clue is just what Pnut already gave you. Ends up just being a little less in price. Prices might be marked on receipt as NT or GT.

    Nice haul Benny!
    cleaning small engines is no easy work, are you saving carbs and other good parts for future repairs or selling them parts/scrap?
