Sending in Scraps

This week I took the plunge at $43 a troy oz. for silver and ordered some sheet and half round wire.  After cringing as they ran my credit card I decided to take an accounting of my scrap silver to turn in to be refined.  As I order my silver through riogrande.com, I am refining through them also.  If you turn in fine and cadmium free sterling, and take a credit towards future purchases, you get 75% of your weight.  Also, after drilling and sawing my silver I sweep off the shavings from my bench pin and am planning on turning in the shavings for a credit of 40%.   I think these are really good rates considering they have to refine it and roll it.  Does anyone know of any better rates?  Keep Creating :)
