So true. I have always dealt with a small local yard. Decent staff, fair prices. But I recently called about bringing in a truck load of cat5 cable (no ends). Local yard offered me .03/lb. So I decided to call a Big/Mega yard. I have been a bit reluctant to call them. Its a intimidating setup, and I didn't think my pickup looked quite right sitting in line with the semi loads. They offered $1.25/lb for the cable. So I loaded 250lbs and took it to them (Just wanted to get a feel for how they were set up and how I would be treated). And I couldn't be happier. In and out in 20 minutes. Handed me a check. Price sheet showed them about 30% high than my local yard. Will definately be using them again. Also found out that they own my local yard. It is a feeder yard for them. Each yard is about 30 miles from me. So I will definately be using the bigger yard for most of my scrap. As they say (Just my .02 worth)
