So I've posted before and as you may know I'm a college student living in a dorm/apartment on campus. And well, I'm having a few problems...
1. I have about 20plus pounds of ferrous metal from random things I've broken down. I have no clue what to do with it because the yard closest to me has a minimum way higher than 20lbs and I go back home in 2 months.
2. I went to the yard the other day to sell about 15 lbs of copper I've saved up. I called them first to get a pricing and they asked how much I had and I said 15lbs. They quoted me $3.15. I get to the yard and just fyi, I look like a lesbian (short haircut, boys clothes, yadayada), and they give me ****. I bring up my copper and he says price is $2.10 per lb. I said that i was quoted $3.15 on the phone, and he says, yes, well for you it is $2.10. I, of course, took my copper and walked on out. **** that noise. But is there anything I can do about it? And how can I sell my scrap if I'm going to get awful prices because of who I am?
Thanks all. Good Luck Scrapping.
