Why would you not call back?????

Thats what happens when you are in the computer recycling field. When you don't get a call back thats a nice way of them telling you NO. But..I will call back a few more times over time.

Keep at it. You never know what will come about.

P.s yards like to stay with the same people even if someone else is paying better...reason being they want to work with one company that they know wont change the price wildly, not cheating on weights, holding funds for one reason or another. So getting into a yard and buying there stuff is VERY hard...keep going there and spending your time. Sooner or later they will hear what you have to say and may "try" you out. The first few times will be a test..they may send you a load of wire that has more than what they said (seeing if you will be like there was 100more pounds than you stated) or send you less and see what happens (they should not send THAT much less...only a few pounds so they are sure you will know..but not to "rob" you)

What do your vendors buy from you?

That is good. Hopefully it will work out for the best.

I spoke to them about a wire buy once that had this and they said they will come to my facility to certify that I am not reselling it to China.

Well it has to do with how some material is processed in China and other coutries not as regulated as in the U.S. So many companies are held to only selling to companies that can certify the "down stream" destination of the materials. This is an enviromental driven thing that makes sense to many, including myself and the majority of the members of this forum. The intent is to discourage the burning of the insulation of wire to get to the copper. High Voltage who started this thread is in the business of seperating the insulation from the copper. He then sells the copper to U.S. companies there by keeping the product here in the U.S. Hopefully this also encourages the job market here in the U.S. as well. Mike.

Welcome to my world, I work with the general public at my job and when scrapping, most are good but a select few will drive you to drink. Got a customer hauled 22 tons for a while back, and still has probably another 20 tons or more to go, but nothing doing. After the hefty payout he received thought he would all over this but some people are weird like that. Another odd ball customer I got wouldn't answer his phone for 4 days, when I had money to give him ! Just like that song goes beer is good, god is great and people are crazy

I recently started to look at buying from the yards. Typically I don't as I get a lot of business from some large scrappers. However, I have recently bought another machine and needed to fill the time on it. I will keep at it and I am sure that sooner or later I will crack the egg.

I take it you decided on not having bullet proof glass...? lol
