    I hear what you are saying BroJer, but you have to understand that your definition of "what kind of man I want to be" can be interpreted a million ways by a million different people. For instance, when you leave a building after picking up a load of computers, do you carry a broom and sweep the entrace of dirt/dust/debris that you may have tracked in? Do you carry Windex and a roll of paper towel to wipe off the fingerprints from the glass door you opened 15 times? Some people might do those things because it defines "the type of man they want to be". I'm not knocking you or even the desire we all should have to clean up after ourselves, but just trying to focus on the bigger picture. If someone continues to take off the brackets on finger cards, and then keeps badgering the buyer about paying him more, is that not wasting the buyers time? Now he has to keep separate all of that material and hope to convince his buyer to pay him more. If you want to go over and above, just send your buyer a gift basket, paid for with the money you earned from the time spent NOT taking off the brackets. Personally, I think that anyone taking on the job of "scrapper" is a man already, because he has the desire to work for himself, make his own rules and support him and his family (no offense to the ladies). Scrapping is tough work, so i commend everyone on here that does it honestly and ethically. And yes, you should be neat and tidy, but that wasnt the point
