Never been to a yard where the price was negotiable; locally, price is usually half of new. Needed a screen for an L2 a few years ago; dealer could order it for $xxxx, but it was gonna be a few days getting it. Knew the salvage yard about 15 miles away had some Ls on the lot, so checked with them. Counter persons couldn't make any decisions; everything had to come from owner in back room. They had a couple of the screens; fellow went in back to ask price. $xxxx.......same price as new one. I'd been dealing with them for years.....buying at half price. Told the counter guy; he went in back again; came back and said price is right; do you want it? NOPE! Called the dealer and asked him to get it as quickly as he could.
Yard owner was known to be a scumbag. He wouldn't give your money back, but would guarantee part to work. I bought a couple of hydraulic pumps from him; they'd try to sell one 'off the shelf'; Nope, take one off a tractor. Went to school with one of the counter guys; he told me they sold the same auto-transmission 7 times; customer would install it, it wouldn't work; they'd bring it back and get another one; salvage yard would put it back on the shelf. For some reason, the 7th customer kept it.........
