well i went out today and got about $100 worth of appliance scrap...not counting all the copper i out of it. Though it took me two trips. The good part was that the majority of the scrap i got was all in one place. My wife stays home with my stepson so she sits on craigslist and watches the free section and I got about four washers today from that. ..also got a nice big chunk of brass lighting fixtures. when i was going out to get the stuff I got on craigslist i would still scour the streets and alleys on the way the best I could..found a few appliances that way on the way and a couple good places I can go back to. I've been keeping all the copper i can strip out of the washers and driers and I tore down a few air conditioners and a mini fridge for the copper tubing and wire too. I found a working air conditioner that I sold to a friend for $20 bucks today as well.
So i'm definately turning a profit. I figure out my gas mileage and have cut down on waste of gas as well as worked on maximizing my profit off the scrap material. I even got semi-free labor ..my room mates told me that they'd help me for beer and subway. All my basic bills are already covered even before i got out scrapping so i think i'm good.
