A few questions I would have would be:
When you go to Walmart, do you try to buy your products direct to avoid Walmart, the middleman?
If not, why not?
What value does Walmart bring to the table?

Do you current work with a scrap yard?
Do you try to sell your steel direct to the mill?
If not, why not?
What value does the yard bring to the table?

I sold my number one heavy melt directly to the mill, and my prepared scrap engine cast went direct to the foundry, I stuffed my scrap cars and trucks with white metal scrap.

My aluminum scrap went to a smelter. Stainless and copper of all grades went to the yard paying the most $$$,

Wallmart does nothing to enhance my buying experience while shopping on ebay buying from vendors located in China brings a smile to my face.
