When they sell to the mill, they will certainly do
better than that.
That is the thing many collector do not get - in order to win a
scrapper over, you have to beat what *he* will get for the scrap, not
what he will pay for it. And the problem is those numbers will often be
a big mystery. It will vary greatly on a per mill, per deal, per phase
of the moon basis.
Well to me this sounds like a no brainer. The scrapper needs to weigh items post a picture
of the item with a price (say what he thinks he will get at the mill plus 15% for his
troubles). Everyone is a winner (items saved from scrap and the scrapper makes good
money). Anything else is a fishing expedition to see if he can get $4000 for an item a
mill will pay $200 for.
