My brother and I made a run today to scrap yard. He called up to check pricing before we left. Got quoted: sealed units-.16, mtrs-.20,insul wire-1.10,dirty alum-.55. Got a name we spoke with, wrote down prices and off we went. Get to scale put sealed units on and ask the guy how much today? Says .12# it's light iron....Then I ask about mtrs he says .15#:confused: At that point I tell him what I got quoted a half hr ago and who quoted the price. He asked again who I spoke to, told him again and asked to speak with this person. Scale guy called office and person my brother spoke with came to scale. Explained what was going on and showed him the quoted prices and his name on the paper. He honored the prices I was quoted no questions asked and told the scale guy to pull up pricing before giving a quote to a customer. Lesson is ALWAYS call to get current prices and ALWAYS get a name.
