Hello J : Here in California we have spent years getting the trust of other small remanufacturers that we are not after there customers and we have been able to build a large enough base that we trade or sell extra virgin cores back and forth so that we cut the money hungry brokers out and leave them holding the bag, for the last four years this has worked great, if someone needs a core that i have extra of it’s their’s and if i need one in an emergency i know that i have 10 companies that i can call on. It has been 5 years sense i have had to rely upon the blood thirsty brokers.
