It sounds like a way to screw you on the price.  He should have just quoted
you the $110/ton, but $123 sounds better.   It is still pretty good money.
It makes it really hard to outbid the iron buyers at the auctions.

I hauled some metal floor joists (may have been flat roof trusses) to the
scrapyard from a large home remodel a friend was working on.   Anyhow, the
quoted price for this not contaminated iron was $123/ton; but the check
amount did not figure.  The answer was they use long ton (2240lbs/ton).  Is
that common, or did I contribute an extra $11 to this already
multi-millionaire?
The last time I remember hauling scrap was near the end of WWII, and that
got piled along the Santa Fe tracks in town.   One such scrap drive
accumulation was 10' high and 20' wide and at least a block long.
