    Welcome to the forum. I will be the first to tell you the very best advise is read the old threads. Nearly everything that can be scraped has been discussed in the old threads. You will gain real useable and profitable knowledge from the theads here. Also keep in mind prices have changed a lot over the time this forum has exsisted. Best of luck Mike

    Go to the section titled "Scrap Metal Basics" and start reading.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Hey Janiss, welcome to SMF! Look on the main page and you'll see the different forum categories, scroll down to one you like and click, it'll take you to the list of threads in that category. The stickies up at top are ones they felt were good enough to be well noted

    I haven't seen where the friends connection here adds any extra frills to anything anyway, am I missing something there ?

    Nah, just shows your friends/contacts. But when you get a bunch of pms for friend requests it does take up space in the ol'pm box. I'd prefer your gonna want me as a friend or contact you at lest make more then 2 posts. Heh. I've had a couple recently from folks new to the forums, an it seems they just tried to friend the whole forum. Kinda strange, but..hey whatever floats folks boats!

    Sirscrapalot - Is willing to be your friend, or contact if we've actually spoken via pm/post.

    Welcome Janiss! Nice to see another gal here!
    Yes Welcome, somehow we manage to scare them off after awhile.

    I haven't seen where the friends connection here adds any extra frills to anything anyway, am I missing something there ?
    You have to have so many friends before you can enter the secret room.
