Right before I started scrapping cars, people used to pay guys like me to remove them... I missed that by a few months. People just started buying junk cars when I came on the scene... Now its absurd what guys are offering.... I had a guy laugh and hang up when I offered 150 for an old integra... Really? I thought that was pretty fair considering I'd barely get that at the yard... iv heard of other guys paying 500+ for cars like that...



People don't understand the work, time costs and risks that are involved. Iv gotta drive my truck and trailer around, buy fuel, spend the time loading it up, laying under these old junk heaps that drip oil, snow and muck in your face, spend the time to make sure its secure, then drive it back to the shop. I'm not even gonna get into how long it takes to prepare them (but I won't tell them I have fun doing that kinda work) none the less its still work and tires me out. It's about 3 hours per car.

I wish people other than us understood where I'm coming from...
