    There is more than just straight up price sometimes. For example, one yard may pay a higher price for #2 wire, but the next place that pays 5 cents less may take ribbon wire from computers mixed in where the first yard would not allow that.

    ALWAYS deal with more than one yard.

    I have a few items that nobody local will give a good price, but if I have a big load, I will make the three hour drive to get the extra 15 cents per pound on what would have been an 18 cent a pound item locally.

    So, ya, I deal with several yards.
