📊 What Determines Zinc Grade Value:
- Zinc Purity: Clean, solid zinc without paint, corrosion, or foreign metals commands the highest scale price.
- Iron Contamination: Attached steel screws, shafts, or brackets immediately drop your load into the 'irony' category, slashing your payout.
- Form factor: Whole automotive carburetors are graded lower because buyers must process them to remove the inner steel and brass components.
- Market Spread: Local yard demand and global shifts dictate the 84.2% margin buyers take against the market index.
