Need some more details here....
How much money are you making from your supplier?
For me I never give percentages because it's too complicated and prone to suspicion of not get what is due. I buy all out right that way what is mine is mine. If I pay too much then it's only me I have to answer to. 73, Mike
Pay for it from him by weight at the lowest rate you can get him to agree to. If he will not agree to a rate that allows you to profit from the arrangement, then it is not an arrangement that works for both of you.... Smile. Thank him. Drink beer.
Yes . I agree with t00nces2, I would offer by the pound depending on the situation. My landfill guy pulls all the computer equipment from the garbage ( he has to )
and puts it aside for me along with cell phones and some video games. Sometimes I get a few, sometimes I get 15 or more. I feed him $20 here and there for his trouble and
more if i make a good score and resell for better than scrap. I also fix up things that he wants to keep and give to his kids. He is happy to get the extra cash and I am happy to get the extra e-scrap. It works well for us both. If you are getting larger loads then yes , something more formal like by the pound would be a good option- more cut and dry.
