Hi everybody, my name is Kristi, I've been lurking for the past 2 days and reading up on your adventures in scrapland. I'm not exactly a scrapper in the same sense as most of y'all, I just haunt a few scrapyards and cherry pick the industrial stuff for components to resell. I started out about 20 years ago in military surplus, back then I could buy huge lots of scrap and the yards would deliver roll-offs and the gov't employees would load it, all I had to do was pick up the checks, ahh the good old days. I used to deal in lots of BIG industrial stuff too, had 14 acres of nothing but machinery back in 2005, decided to get out of the business then and lots of it went to scrap, should have held onto it for a few more years. When the economy tanked I decided I'd better get back to work, take what I learned my first go around and work smarter, not harder. These days I mainly deal in small parts I can throw in a box and ship anywhere, no employees, and minimal overhead, and best of all vacation when I want to.
Kristi
