    Dan the scraper in Australia makes good money buying and selling from individuals, but it appears he only pays about 2/3 of the scrap yard price. My guess is if the seller doesn't take what you are offering, they won't find anyone else to pay more. And if they take it in themselves, it would be sold as all dirty. You could experiment next time and offer 2/3 to see what happens. One good thing is we learn from our mistakes.

    Unlucky mate, I'd say you over payed even if the prices hadn't dropped, personally if Im laying out 400 I want to make at least 20/30% back. Which I think is more than fair as it saves them having to clean it and take it to the scrap yard.

      Definitely. You have to account for fuel, time and convenience. 20% would be the very least

    Thats unfortunate mate prices dropping over night. It’s not looking good at the moment think prices will continue to go down short term so stack your copper if you have the space and wait it out

    ( It's the " dawn choros", you savage ! ) These gadgers selling must "follow" the market prices. I do'nt know if you do. I suspect not. Fair play ta ya, anyway, you're prepared to graft !

    Shame the arse fell out of the prices, but you’re still up around £50 all in, that’s a lot of scrap iron to have found. It’s not a loss, bonus mate

    You way overpaid, you didn't allow near enough for your labor sorting it all out. Lesson learned hopefully. Don't be afraid to buy in the future just remember to leave yourself plenty of margin especially when it's more than a straight flip.
