    Got 250 computers and 2 cars in one stop!!!!!!

    Pulled up to pick up 20 computers on trash week. got stuck in driveway owners came out and told me they had 230 more in garage (came from school action, they tried to sell complete. sold one). They are letting me scrap their two cars, gave me 15 tires with rims(some aluminum), a trash compactor, washing machine, and loose scrap. Also they want me to do some handyman work for them. I wasnt even going to stop to get the computers if it wasnt for another job that fell through earlier that day. I went from losing about $50 to gaining about $1500 or more in matter of hours. I just started this big time about 3 weeks ago, mainly cuz of this site, got biz cards and wor of mouth going and alot of friends. Ive scrapped before from construction jobs ive had but now im makin more money and havin more fun. When I am having a hard time finding metal I work a couple jobs, property management and handy man, and the metal just starts flying in.



    Thanks alot to you all. Upstate New york.

    yes, if you get the shipping on the 30day plan..it costs around $3.00 or so total. But you wont get the cards until 30days later. So order ahead of time.
