I've tried buying things from scrap yards and they want 10 times what they pay for it and 5 times what they will get for it. Auto wrecking yards are even worse, they will send unsalable material to scrap before selling it to me. Take wheels as an example. The average 16" wheel weighs 20 pounds and it rains wheels around wrecking yards. That is 100 wheels per ton. If the yard get's $1 apiece for them in scrap,I would think they would be all over offers of $10 each but they will let you walk unless you pay at least $20 each. They are the same way on springs,axles,drive shafts,frames and other stuff welders can use. I'd say the economy is robust or business owners are knot heads for passing up that kind of profit.
