Oh you can ask what he'll charge, he usually throws out a random number depending on how he feels that day, or if his *****y wife is in the office :V It's a well known fact if she's there, stash your part in the woods or the old VW bus that's been there forever and come back another day

After going there for years I have a good idea what his prices are. Two winters ago I needed a new engine block for one of my subarus, I showed up in a snow storm in February by myself... I had the engine block pulled and loaded in my car in like an hour. Dude was impressed so he gave it to me for $40. I've probably made hundreds at that yard when I'm there with a sawzall or a gas axe... From guys being pissed off and saying "give you $20 if you torch this part out for me"
