You need to expand your horizons when selling. My geographic area has suppressed payout pricing because there’s only 2 places around buying, and one of them bought out roughly 8 other scrap yards. The pricing offered between those 2 companies is so ridiculously low that I won’t deal with them at all.
There’s 2 reasonable places, one is 30 miles away and the other is 50 miles away. I found an independent scrap guy who will pay me the average of those two reasonable prices AND he’ll come to my house and scale it all right there in my driveway. He buys nothing ferrous. I check prices first and then call him. He’s had 100% of my business for about 10 years now.
