Hi Product Hunt — I’m Peter Goodale, the independent developer behind ScrapValue.
I built it to answer a simple question before a yard trip: is this load worth the fuel and time? Generic internet price lists are rarely a good substitute for the grade and quote from the yard a person will actually visit, so ScrapValue focuses on applying a local quote to the real load and preserving the result for next time.
I would especially value feedback from scrappers, recyclers, contractors, and anyone who tracks jobsite metal. What information would make a saved load more useful after the scale ticket arrives?
honestly the scale ticket comparison feature is such a smart move, finally a tool that lets you see where your estimates went sideways instead of just guessing. love that pro is a one-time buy too, way better than subscriptions.
would be really helpful if you could add a way to log photos of each material when you save a load, basically so you have a visual record for later when comparing to the scale ticket. honestly that would save me a lot of headaches when yard quotes get disputed.
