I have been thinking about something for sometime now. As a sit at work thinking about Scrap and where I can find it, I was thinking "Man it would be nice to just have someone locate scrap for me" then it dawned on me. Some Scrappers are good salesman, some are more hands on and just take what they can find on there own without much interaction with people. What about a Scrap locator service?

The vending machine business is what made me think about it. There are alot of people in the vending business that just locate locations for people. The vendors pay a fee for the location. Usually its a one time fee for that location, nothing residual. The locator would call or visit locations in a specific area, give there pitch, get an answer and when they secure one, pass it along to the person that hired them to locate(a little more to it but you get my point).



Do you guys/gals think that would work in the scrap business? Let me say that this is NOT something I'm going to do myself. I would use the service, but I'm not trynig to start this, or drum up business.

If I live in Indiana what do I care if I secure a location for another recycler 150 miles from me for if it's small. I'm not going to drive there. But someone close could get it, and I still get paid for locating it.

I don't know just a thought. There's a lot more someone would have to work out to do this. Maybe its not a good idea, but just wanted to get everyone's thoughts and maybe put a bug in someones ear, thats good at dealing with people.
