Are people really THAT naive?

I was recently told the story of how one of my competitors who after many years, is still beating his customer for a tremendous amount of (non-ferrous) weight, claiming that he weighed the material right at his customer’s location, here in the Trenton area. I don’t care how trustworthy your dealer may seem or what kind of “friendship” you think you have with him. If you don’t do at least a periodic check on your dealer, you are giving him the opportunity to take major advantage of you. I encourage even my own customers to make spot checks on your shipped weight (don’t tell your dealer until AFTER he tells you the weight). The prices I hear people say they’re getting quoted are often so ridiculously high that there’s no way for that dealer to make money, especially the ones who don’t have their own receiving location—I strongly suggest you check on that as well. Certain dealers (and yes, including the aforementioned one) don’t have their own location, even though their website makes it seem that they do. A visit or a check can show you that you’re allowing thousands of dollars each year to be stolen without you being the wiser, and even more tragically, thinking you’re dealing with an honest guy.

We can verify as to whether or not you’re getting cheated

If you’re located in the greater New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia region, we can personally show you how to know if you’re actually getting what you’re dealer says he’s giving you (if you’re not it’s also possible, but just a bit more involved). Don’t be fooled by the mobile scale and up-front cash. It’s all designed to give you confidence in scam artists. Right Gary? Right Steve? Right Bill? Scales can have phony counter-weights or be ‘tweaked’, even if they are digital. Certain vendors also don’t have physical yards or warehouses to store their material. I suggest you ask your scrap dealer as to whether or not its allright to pay him a visit, and then if he says it’s OK, do it. If no one seems to be available for such a meeting, it’s almost a certainty that he has no yard or warehouse. Why is that important? Mills and smelters usually accept material by appointment only, and are alloy group specific—in other words, you can’t ship a load of copper, aluminum and stainless to one mill. The items need to be split up and added to a larger quantity of material, usually in the 35-40,000 lb range. So that means that if he picks up a mixed load of those items, he MUST have a physical location to ship and receive or he CANNOT pay you the supposed top dollar he claims that he can pay. Because if he has no REAL location, he must sell his material the day (or next day) to make room on his truck, and that can only be done be selling to another scrap dealer, who must make money for himself. The bottom line is, he can’t pay YOU top dollar, but if he cheats you on weight, he can make it seem as though he is. We don’t play these games; never have, never will. Don’t think your dealer is a ‘nice guy’ and would never do that to you. Again, it’s all part of the scam.

Tungsten Carbide and other Updates

Call us for your best deal. Also looking for tantalum bar. Stopped getting fooled by these guys who claim to have a yard and don’t. There is a very prominent dealer who sells and delivers his industrial scrap the same day he picks it up–NO ONE can pay top dollar who doesn’t have a location. He has a scale on his truck with PHONY counterweights. The prices are great, but if you’re not getting paid for your weight, what good is his price? His website even makes it look like he has a location. HE DOESN’T. If you read this and don’t investigate the practices and legitimacy of your scrap dealer, shame on you. Call me and I can explain why we are better.

Do you like being lied to?

Sometimes I think there are people out there that just want to hear high dollar quotes for their scrap, so anytime someone gets a higher quote than I’m willing to pay, they think I must be cheating them. Truth be told, there are MANY dealers who will over-quote just to steal away a scrap supplier from their competitor, and a “I’m going to cheat them somehow” is built in to the quote. I’m not sure who is the more foolish one(yes I do): the guy who wants to be lied to, or me for telling the truth.

Why us?

I’m amazed at how many people call around or take offers for their scrap materials and only with the highest price. While getting the highest price seems like a no-brainer, what most of you don’t realize is that the recyling industry is chock-full of scam artists ON ALL LEVELS. I have seen multi-million dollar companies (most likely how they got that way) that get their material through the door with high prices, then cheat on their scale or make up reasons to downgrade material, sometimes increasing their profits by thousands on a single load of material, depending on what it is, of course. The status-quo in this business is weight cheating. Whether you are an individual selling scrap or an industrial manufacturer, the only way you have any recourse is to WEIGH YOUR SCRAP BEFORE YOU SHIP IT. Many dealers have long standing relationships with suppliers for many years and they have been robbing them blind. Keep in mind, if your dealer ALWAYS has the best price, this is probably happening. Many plant managers and agents close their eyes to this even if it’s discovered, as they don’t want the embarrasment of letting theit boss know that they have been dealing with someone who has stolen from their company for a very long time. If you’d like to catch your dealer in the act, please contact me.
