    New here, already learning quite a bit

    I just started scrapping, and I've learned quite a bit. I'm in Guilford county North Carolina, and still waiting on some snow this winter. I started doing this to help me get out of debt a little faster, but I know I won't get rich doing it. Happy to be here.

    It depends on how well you absorb all the hints and tips here and apply them. Quite a few people have turned this into a fulltime business.

    Welcome to the forum. Read the old threads, keep in mind that prices have changed for many items and many of those prices have gone down. Hold onto stuff you don't know about and read the old threads. Is there a thread to my comment coming through, read the old threads. Best of luck and work hard. Mike

    Lets say your a man/woman in your twenties , You could conceivably scrap $100 - $200 per week easy enough and invest some of the new found money & thus you could get
    rich some day, all from scrapping
    The art of Scrapping is something you can do as long as you have the strength to lift .
    fortunately there many aspects to scrapping from heavy weighted items to manageable weight .
    Usually scrap metals of easier handling weights are scarcer.
    Anyway Read Read collect sell.
