    Another newbie...

    Hello everyone,
    just a quick introduction... I don't have much of any experience other than selling metal I've collected during rehab of my rental properties... wanting to learn of the business of scrapping, and where I might be able to fit in.
    But for now... I'm in learning mode and happy to have found this forum.
    thanks!!

    Welcome to the forum.

    The best education in scraping and it costs only your time is to read the old threads. Keep up with the current threads but read the old ones.

    Keep in mind that prices and other things have changed but with the diverse experience of our members you will be ready for opportunities you run across.

    After the education here and some experience you will find your path. 73, Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    Welcome to the forum and I agree with miked, read the old posted and get familiar with what you have on hand, but the main thing is to read the old posts and just when you thing your done, start over and do it again. You will never know what you might have missed.

    Happy scrapping
