    Bought my first scrap load and then profited. Hell yeah!

    Well my friend just got a Construction Job a couple weeks back and they they let him have about 300 pounds of aluminum framing and all sorts of other aluminum stuff. Well he took it home and didn't take it to the yard for a week and his Pap was getting mad about it laying next to his patio, so he called me up and asked me if I would buy it all for 50 bucks, I said sure, Be right over we loaded the back of my truck up and I headed home. Then today after school I went to the yard, I had to be pulled off to the side and fill a bin with all the aluminum and crap. So the total end result was me getting a $167.20 How do ya think I did?
