    A Great Time

    So I lost my job as of last month and have had time to scrap more. It wasn't until last week, however, I ran across a GREAT find. I've been scouting CL for years and there's always been countless junk for free that yields great profit. This time however I hit it quite well. From a company that was replacing all of it's monitors with flat screens, I got 45 CRT monitors, with built in cords to cut, 1 microwave and 3 tv's from a personal spot found. I'm currently in the progress of taking everything apart, so far I have piles of copper, aluminum, steel, and loads of plastic. Plastic in Kansas City goes for around .10 cents a pound I think. However, when you think about it I have LOADS of plastic. So even if it's just $15 dollars is still a profit.

    Just thought I would share some great news!
