If you had $5000. to get started in scrapping how would you use it?

Sounds like ingenuity to me. One man's junk is anothers' treasure. Isn't that what happens when scrap guys come by and offer to take appliances for free. They don't mention the Nichrome heater elements. perhaps Asian customs can't see the nichrome thru white goods enamel so to speak

Yeah, it is just how other countries do it based on my experiences. And I did not suggest anything in my post, just some info on how its done. Unless a few on here are actually importers in China, India, Brazil, and Russia, my information is meaningless I guess.

Should have just kept the info to myself instead of trying to inform e-scrappers on how their scrap is being processed.
