It’s a Junkyard/Pawn Shop with high prices, but they make up for it by being unfriendly. My neighbor recommended that I drop by to find serviceable metal containers and trays at a fair price. I was looking for some containers useful for gardening and outdoor tasks. I dropped by today for the first time. It will be my last time. The proprietors here were not friendly to me. They did not ever acknowledge my presence, not when I walked in, nor when I was walking around. There was an old man and an old woman behind the counter. I looked at both of them individually in the eye, smiled and said hello. Neither of them replied to me even though we made eye contact. I picked out an aluminum tray and 2 stainless steel bowls. These items were very dirty, a bit rusty, but serviceable. I walked up to the counter and said I’d purchase them. The lady said “$30 for all three”. I already knew that I can purchase a brand new set of 18/10 (highest quality food grade stainless steel) bowls for that price, so I just said “no thank you, I’ll shop around some more.” I put the items back, and then I left. Not a great experience, not a bad experience. I think 3 stars would have been fair, but I knocked down one star because of the terrible value. You don’t sell junk for the price of new products. It wasn’t even worth bargaining. You don’t bargain for junk. This is a Junkyard. $2-3 for each would have been a fair price. I’d even have paid a bit more because I’m happy to support local businesses. $30 was so high, I knew I was being taken for a ride. I recommend just avoiding this place altogether.

Good ole boy shop for sure , they will short u on your weight first your scrap metal dont have any debris in your containers cause they will tell you you had Hella dirt weight in there. They do usually have the highest price on scrap. So do with that what u will. Place reminds me of a plantation store, vibe along with the ppl. Im mad they have the highest price on copper ?
