    I Got $62 for a load, It made me laugh

    As I have stated I am new to this. I worked my butt off yesterday got a four cylinder engine/two treadmills two sinks out of a laundry room some satellite dishes and a bunch of scrap metal. When I went to the yard I got 62 bucks it was just funny to me because I have talked to people that said 4 or 5 years ago I would have gotten a lot more but 62 bucks Is better than nothing.

    Sure, but 15-20 years ago you would of got much less. Even 10 years ago copper was around .60 a pound.

    Depends if he broke stuff down or not, if not then he left a little money there.
    That's where our old posts come in handy. Most all the answers are already here.
    Esp. the amp on the end of the dish with the gold plated board in it. Electric motor in the treadmill.
