New member (not skippy) . But I'll make an interesting introduction....

Hello, My name is ''obviously'' Charles Merrill and I have been selling scrap for years. My general income is from buying/selling/trading.
I haven't had a 9 to 5 in many ,many years. I don't get a gov. check. I don't get free healthcare or insurance from any organization. I have bills like anyone else (mortgage ,lights ,water ,car insurance ,cell phone and more) and I live in the poorest state in the union. OH! and i'm married.....



Now for the good stuff.
I make more money than half the people I know. And I have a lot more time to play. All my toys are paid for cash. ( Harley ,bass tracker, shop, Z-71 ,Honda Shadow , Honda 300 4x4 , Phantom Bass Boat , camper trailer , Yamaha Blaster , HIS & HERS 04 Chrysler seabrings , on and on etc.) I buy and sell more toys in a year than most people own in a lifetime. Couldn't do it without scrap to help pay the bills.
Me and my wife go night fishing at Pickwick dam ,until sunrise sometimes, and sleep till 1:00pm , and nobody tells me I can't.
Now that's what scrap and knowledge can give you ..FREEDOM

Can you imagine waking up one morning and looking forward to retirement so you can do what I have been doing most of my life.

Hi from Alabama, sounds fun up there. I love the fact that "shop" is listed as one of the toys.

Nice intro! Unique! Welcome from central Illinois
