    Mechanic, does your yard buy those boards like that or do you sell to a specialty buyer for the boards?

    Mechanic, can you give a more complete break down? I am interested in what you got per pound. I have a much small amount on hand and want not to get riped on price. Thanks, Mike

    What is that Duke??? you mean the payday. That was saving up for about 2 months. Been a long time coming. But we broke everything down and sorted it out to maximize the profit. In our case we gained a little bit more by cutting off the fingers. I don't recommend that, if your buyer says no. Check with your special buyer to see how they want the stuff handled and sorted. Just my .01 1/2 cents (after tax)
