    Hello out there, fellow scrapers!

    Been a member for quite some time. :-) Thought maybe yall might like to know who I am. So here I go...

    Been scraping out of Ft. Walton, Florida for couple years, same in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I'm a hard-working Florida boy. I'm 25, have a business, and going to school to become a CNC machinist. From a family of engineers, so I am always curious how things work. :-) I love taking things apart. Sometimes its the only way to pay the bills, other times its my hobby. I'm getting out of the beginner stage, getting to intermediate. Always down to take apart something new. I find the best way to learn about something is to part it out. Thank you, all you old timers, for all your advice! It has helped way more than I ever thought. There is so much on here to learn! I hope to put some tricks and tips on here sometime myself. :-) For now though, i'll just keep my drill charging away and my hammer next to me, cuz I'm gonna need it! lol...


    Getting into the E-scrap business. Still got alot of other recycling going on though. I clear out houses and storage units and resell alot of it.
    I rarely ever throw things in the trash....unless I'm paid to. ;-) lol...I haul things, buy A/C units to part out, buy electronics from the locals to part out, and try to do some lawn care/landscaping/pressure washing when I can. Thank God for my grandmother though. She's why I'm back in school. One of these days I'll be finished....but never with recycling!

    Your welcome -and welcome. Most people on here are good peeps, just avoid those lurking in the dark corners with dodgy eyes.

    I more worry about the accessiblity of buyer info on here. Hard to keep some customers when once they see that I buy e-waste, no matter how long they've had it, they price check me and try to ship it all out....

    Anyone else think that the buyer's section should be for paying members only??
