    Hello from the Twin Cities...

    I just recently started scrapping and I love it! Before I started I used to give my friends that were doing it a hard time because of the amount of work they were putting into it for such a small payout' after watching there mistakes and learning how not to do it I can make an easy $150 a day without picking the stuff apart

    We need to form an alliance that will save us from wasting fuel and also pump up the volume.
    I'm out here rolling with my Net book and my GPS that way I can jump on and check Craigslist to see if there's anything new listed that's in my general vicinity.
    Most McDonald's have free WIFI and there's allot of unsecured open router's around town for doing a quick check.

    Making $150 per day is a good day's pay. However, if you took a little bit more time out of your day to break down your scrap, you could easily turn $150 per day into $200+ per day. Everyone is different and everyone scraps in different ways. The extra $50 per day might not be worth it to you but it surely would be to me. That could be potentially and extra $250 per week or an extra $1,000 per month.

    Just my honest, humble opinion.

    Be Safe!!!

I can not believe the amount of free pianos that are on craigslist right now!! Theres gotta be close to a ton.. Hmmm?? I wonder how many you can fit on a 18' trailer?? I found a nice gold top IC chip in an old organ one time..
