    I agree completely !! With winter hitting and the prices of scrap bringing out everyone I have been basicaly getting nothing. I have not been getting "skunked" but there is so much competition here that anything good is hard to come by.

    Got a good one yesterday. I saw an old bathtub broken in half sitting by the curb. Thought it wasfiberglass from the brown color. I stopped and holey cow!!!! It was cast iron. Weighs about 600 lbs. Had to call my wife to come help me get it in the truck.

    yeah too much competition anymore and not enough metal to go around and as an extra kick in the nuts, prices are very high in these parts. my exhaust manifold cracked on my truck and i haven't left my house in a week. I AM GOING CRAZY..........and broke.
