    Hello Everyone !!! Greeting from Illinois ( Great Scraping Experience)

    Hello every one I started scarping this week and have made over $200.I figured since you all have helped me so much i though i'd join in for more help and to help those who need my help ! I'm only 17 and found scrapping to be very enjoyable and rewarding. also this weekend ive collected 2 semi brake drums a stainless steel grill a stove and a refrigerator i striped a few tvs for about 6 lbs. i have also collected about 100lbs of steel imm going out tomorrow with some friends. my question is how much money will i be looking at with what i have right now??

    Check the grill to see if a magnet sticks to it. If it is non-magnetic it is worth more. 6 pounds of copper is $15.00 ish. 100 lbs of steel $10-$12, keep on scrappin and it will come. Make a few flyers on the computer and give them to neighbors and anyone else who will take them.

    Good Luck and God Bless you.
    God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy

    Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping
