    Knee jerk reaction

    My stile of acquiring recyclable inventory has a Knee jerk reaction
    getting $14 for 500 pounds is the reality - But it does not mean when driving
    and you see a pile , the response is - oh yeah SCORE!!!
    but then reality sets in and often I keep driving
    BUT this load i figured get it ask questions later

    At face Value three 10 foot long structural steel felt like 175# each
    buckets of bolts for engine heads the person who had them fixed fords from 1930's up
    short steel miscellaneous but parts from 1930 fords
    and alternator's from 1930's fords
    Pistons are from ???
    How could I market these items ?
    To buy the bolts that hold heads down are costly
    but how would I match up product to owner or should I just - just Scrap it ?

    The 10 foot long structural steel would make nice bumpers
    and other use or should I just - just Scrap it ?

    Once loaded the truck felt like it had 1200 #

    I'm still at it
    So since prices are so low the temptation to just get $150 plus is gone
    do I have any Jewels here ??



    Cause this load as is - I figure $50 depending on disassembling

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
