The more you involve yourself into scrapping and the scrap world, the more it seems like the trash/scrap starts seeking YOU out! It's a great problem to have.... once in the scrap/reselling/recycling/reuse game you start being able to see the $$dollar bills$$ that most others just throw away and discard. Once you see the light, you can't unsee it. A normal person may see a disgusting pile of garbage... one of us just sees money, opportunity, and a way to make the world a better place.
