I think its going to take a bigger slump than this for the larger yards to get out of it. I have a local yard that pays decent on motherboards, usually around 3.00 per pound. They even let me put the "Chinese" ones in there as long as there is a good mix of green ones. The scale guy told me the other day that they pay the general public 1.00 per pound. At that price they are still doing pretty good.
