    Scrap yards around here!

    Man these yards are really pissing me off.Now if you haul in a car that isn't complete meaning that everything has to be on it then you get money taken away.
    245 per ton complete and 225 at some and one is 180 per ton incomplete.So now since the cat and wheels are missing you lose out on ton pricing this is bs.

    yeah i called around and found someone to pay 245 just about a extra 20 mins or so out of my time but atleast per every 3k lbs it is 30 more dollars so it is worth it.

    yeah i think that is bs.When you call the recording says 245 per ton.When you get there is where they tell you oh this is missing it is 180.
    I think it should tell you that on the recording myself.

    yup.. I was docked once for the battery missing. Last time I visited that yard. Same yard wanted to dock me $40 for tires ($10per) I said I'd take them home... "Then it isn't a complete car"...??????
