Holding everything is about as effective as those "dont buy gas on tuesday" type of squeezes. Usually uneffective
^ exactly.
I read somewhere that scrap metal is a 200 billion dollar industry. I am not sure this entire forum as a whole would even show up as a dent on that kind of money.
I have not stopped buying. I have just stopped actively going after the general public business. I have built my business without ever having to speak to a contractor or scrapper. It was only recently that I made the decision to try and tap the market. What I have found is that they are not willing to sell unless I am willing to pay something outrageous like $4 a pound for mixed wire. I will just sit back and enjoy my corporate clients and if someone from the general public comes a calling I will be happy to listen to them and perhaps buy from them.
Just the thought of not having to deal with the general public would make me happy. I always get some jackass who's trying to beat me up on price when they bring in 150lb of tin, blocking the entrace of a 50yard truck loaded. The public scares me sometimes
if you load it on youtube, set it to private, that way only people who see this thread can click the link.
Thanks.
Sims is an Australian company, Was Sims metal, then Sims group, then the bought / merged we a US mob called Metal Management a few years back. They are the worlds biggest i think?
