Hi, just new to this forum. I've looked around this forum and just have a couple questions.

1) How much would a dryer be worth to you in your area? The reason I ask, is that people in my area advertise for dryers etc. and are willing to travel out of town to get them. So if they came out of town in a truck they'd be burning at least $10 or $15 in gas to get here, plus they have to make money on top of that obviously. When people say that they get steel for 10 cents on the dollar, let's say a dryer weighs $150, that would be $15.00 in scrap value. The numbers don't add up. There must be something I'm missing here right?

2) Do you get the most of your metal from driving around on garbage night? I've read here how some people advertise for it and make calls to businesses, but can you make enough money from collecting on garbage night?



3) Sometimes out of the blue the words "metalscrap metalscrap" appear in someones post, why?
