You may be getting beat, but remember that every yard is different. Geographical location doesnt seem to matter, from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, there is no real way to gauge how pricing is done. For example, there are 3 yards near me that pay $6, $8 and $12 for the same car battery. It does help you to question their prices, though. On more than 1 occasion I brought a variety of items in and asked what their pricing was. If I thought it was too low I took that item out of the pile and said I can do better elsewhere (in a nice way). Usually they ask what i can get elsewhere and most of the time will match that price. Makes me feel good about getting the most for my money and I dont have to drive around to other yards or take it home to store for another day. It also doesnt hurt to bring in volume, or call ahead to check prices as they can fluctuate daily.
