    Hello

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I am not a chatty guy, so I will be brief. I have been a part time scrapper for many years but have been without work since I got sick about a year and a half ago so have decided to up my scrapping to try and support myself. I am strictly non-ferrous as I do not have space to keep large material. I am currently looking to expand into electronics as this is something new for me. Expect questions...

    I am currently trying to decide if the paid membership is worthwhile. It is reasonably priced so I am inclined to pay for it. Thoughts?

    Hi and welcome, you do not have to buy the "membership" right away as there is a college course full of free info on all aspects of scrapping here, broken down into different sections.
    All you have to spend is some time reading. Enjoy.

    If you enjoy your freedom, thank a vet.

    Thanks. I have been reading some of your threads. I am very familiar with computer parts as I used to build them but I am still learning how they are graded for scrap. Thanks for the info, it is great.

    Why yes it is. Rocketry is more than a hobby for me, it is a passion.

    Welcome! I have been a member for a while and I haven't got the membership, should, but haven't. There is MORE than enough info here. I also say I don't collect ferrous, but last week I took in $85 worth of something I "don't" collect

    Welcome to the forum from Spring Hill, fl I'm looking forward to talking to you about hooking you up with a buyer for your curcuit boards. You'll need a few more post in order for me to send you a PM. Are you willing to drive up to tampa? Even if you have a small load for the first trip it will be worth the education that you will get.

    Welcome Harsas!

    If you have questions in regards to electronic waste feel free to let any of us know. That's probably the only topic I'm good at, so you're welcome to PM me if questions.

    Best of luck!

    Driving to Tampa is not an issue. My son lives in Riverview and we have friends in Ocala. We are frequently in the area. I agree with you that PM is the best way for certain communications, so I will be patient. Thanks for you willingness to share.

    Welcome to the forum. My thoughts on the membership is: join when you feel you really owe it to the forum and you can easily afford it. I did as a thank you more than the additional information I could gain. Mike

    My sentiments exactly. Thanks.
