    A little intro

    I am very new to scrapping, I have my journeyman ticket in both automotive and appliance repair. I have gotten to the point that fixing things is really getting mundane, so i figured i would stay in these fields, but rip apart instead of repair. Was just interested in how people make decent money doing this and wanted to get my feet wet. p.s- if anyone has an appliance related question, id be happy to help if able to do so.

    With prices as they are, I would think being able to repair things and re-sell would be a better option. Just my opinion. Welcome to the forum!

    Welcome to the forum. Spend the time to look around the forum, you will be happy you did. Also which Edmonton are you located? 73, Mike.

    Id still be running my business of fixing appliances. But people dont want to fix there stuff if its too expensive. Thats where id be taking the machine, ripping it down and parting out.
