    New from Tucson AZ

    Hey all. Im Dave. I started scrapping years ago just collecting stuff in buckets at home usually appliance parts that broke and aluminum cans. Now its turned into searching local free classifieds for broken or old tvs or appliances and cleaning up the local washes of cans and whatever else we come across. I have two sons that help out. They like taking stuff apart and getting a few bucks when we turn scrap in. I dont really want to do more than Im doing now. Its just a nice hobby that gets us a small return.

    Welcome to the forum. There is so much info in the old threads that reading them will educate you and make you more money.

    while you are out hunting for scrap keep in mind selling items as working or as replacement parts. Lots more income on selling used parts but usually lots more effort as well. 73, Mike

    "Profit begins when you buy NOT when you sell." {quote passed down to me from a wise man}

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
