Not hating on you all for making money just amazes me how you charge to pickup something of value and here everyone wants 500$ for a junk geo metro and 300$ paid to them for every ton of steel collected. Just crazy is all, I make what I can when I can and let a lot of stuff go because it's too high.
    Agreed......I am lucky to get metal around here that I don't have to buy...LOL........Either way if I get enough of it and pay as little as possible I can still earn a decent living
