    Hello everyone, I have just joined this forum although I have been pouring over the threads for a while trying to figure things out. I have begun scrapping out of necessity after my father recently passed away. He was a collector hoarder saver whatever term you want to use. You can't imagine all of the stuff he saved. I'm selling some and scrapping some. I don't think I got the best value on some of the first loads I sold so I found this forum which has already increased my profit. Anyhow my thoughts have already turned to getting more stuff to scrap in addition to my fathers collection. I think I could make some part time work out of scrapping, we'll see after I get his place cleaned up. Thanks for reading.

    Welcome from Maryland.
    Sorry for your loss.
    If you have time ,take it slow and research working or usable items.
    Scrap is the lowest $$ you'll get on anything.
    Good luck!

    Welcome aboard from the northwest corner of the state. You can definitely make money at it, just takes time and hard work. I did it full time before being offered a good job elsewhere, now it makes a nice little sideline.

    Sorry for your loss. That's a hard way to get into scrapping.
    But you've come to the right place. Welcome to the family.
