    Good day to be out mowing if you overlook the condoms

    So I was out mowing yesterday and so was a neighbor. He asks me, ''You scrap right?'' I said yes. He says I have some rotors for you I've been waiting to catch you out let me go get them. So he loaded up a dolly with rotors and brake pads - the boxes went to the handle of the dolly. Score!!! Thank you sir!!

    Was sitting in the garage a bit later and the neighbor across from me is unloading something out of his trunk. Few minutes later he is dragging garbage cans over and dumps them on my garage floor. Out spills large garbage can of wires, old old old barbershop electric hair trimmers made of cast (I've never seen cast ones before) and some garbage as well. Alrighty then. I said where did you get all that and he says a ''friend'' from basically a bad bad part of town in the next big city over where you'd better drive through with your doors locked. Yikes. He leaves and I start going through them and find condoms up the wazoo mixed in with the wires. They were still in the packages luckily!! Uhhhhhhh......where exactly did he get this stuff from again? What exactly was going on in this part of town you got all this from? lol. There was other stuff as well but that had to be the oddest drop off I've ever gotten. I double gloved to be on the safe side and after all was said and done I got a large garbage can of wires, a 5 gallon bucket of cast hair trimmer carcasses, a 5 gallon bucket of transformers and some other misc. stuff he brought too and the rotors from the first guy.

    So, word of mouth amongst the neighbors is paying off for me and it was a great day to be out mowing!!

    Congratulations. Word of mouth is one of the biggest, most effective, FREE advertising anyone can do.

    People get stuff all the time and have no idea what to do with it, till WE come along!

    When I did a pickup yesterday, I went for a washer, dryer, mini fridge, and ended up get a bunch of other stuff. The lady's husband kept saying "can you use this? "yes", what about this? "yes" and on and on for a good hour!

    TMI buddy lol jk.

    My first job when I moved back to VA, and in the middle of starting a new company, was working for 7-11. In case they dont have them there, it is a convenience store that is like a mini store and gas station.

    Anyways, my first night working there, me and this girl had I would say about 30 guys come in to purchase condoms. They all asked for bags, except for 1.

    Yeah. I also emailed one of my foreclosure lady's who get properties in all the time. Unfortunately they only pay 1 time a month, and I can't wait that long. So I was just removing appliances and vehicles before. So now, thanks to electronic scrapping, I mad her a new offer. For her to send me the property profiles of anything that she gets in, and I will look at the pictures. If I see ANYTHING worth of value to me (scrap metal, electronics, furniture that can be sold, or anything else that can be sold or broken down) then I will go get those items for FREE. She gladly accepted. She knows that if she gets a client who needs a property cleaned and will pay upon completion, I will be right there.

    Then she told me in a day or two she will have a car for me to take. Dang, I love this business!

    Out of 10 business I have owned personally, I love this one and my investment company the most. Get to help others, and make money too.

    WOOT!!! this is getting sweeeeeeeet!! My neighbor directly next door stopped mowing this morning and caught me as I was leaving and asked if I still scrapped? Yes I do I say! he goes to the garage and gives me some fans, a winch (I am going to see if I can fix it to use on my truck) and some ballasts!! I love this! I now have 4 neighbors pooling stuff in their garages for me!!!! *Does happy dance* Mowing seems to be good karma for me!

    He is rarely home, he works two jobs and leaves early and comes home late so we very rarely see each other outside at all.
