    Hello from a newbie.

    I just turn 23. Working a full-time job and want to earn some extra money scrapping. I have scrapped for a few years, but have move to Minnesota. So I feel green again don't have any networks or connections and not much room for storage. Wondering how are fellow scrappers doing with these low prices? Thank you all.

    Welcome to the forum from one of your South Dakota neighbors.

    If you poke around the forum there has been plenty of talk about the low prices. Some are hoarding, some are still turning material over as they get it. Just depends on your situation and whatever works best for you.

    Good luck.

    Welcome to the forums from a sandbar off the coast of NC.

    Listen to Hypo an research these forums. All you need to know is here, it's up to you tho to do the digging. The link's in BC's post are also something you should take a look at.

    Good luck, scrapping ain't for the light of heart or those who run at the first sign of trouble or lower prices.
