    Cool Not new but made new account

    Sup. In other news, I got a '01 4runner now instead of a Honda element. so I can actually pull stuff. And had a $1,000 week last week, this week is slower, so far, I need to generate scrap man this is my living again, all I got is craigslist and cards, well word of mouth and people I know too. I'm about to put an ad on this site. I tried framing for 6 months but got really tired of it. For intrest: Found a big stainless front fridge in my neighborhood, my grandpa threw a relay on it (easy), we sold it for $400. Got a 35 hp boat motor from a pickup call, did nothing to it, sold it for $350, it is my new #1 "did-nothing-to-it" trophy.

    Great so far. You can tell us a little more about yourself and your experience.

    It seems you have been doing some reading on the forum and learning from it. I will say keep reading there's more info on how to make more money. 73, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    Well I've been doing this a lot or full time for about a year or so now, on/off. Had to use my uncle's 5x8 trailer first, used the element with no trailer before that. Then got my own 5x10, and overloaded my honda all the time. Drove a year old rental suburban to the scrapyard with my trailer one time haha. Have a 10x20 storage space now, that hurts a little bit, but its nice, and i can run a cord for a sawzall or whatever. Ads on craigslist work good for me, until they get deleted. I made a new craigslist with different email and just have one ad on usually and it's working alright, and staying up. Make decent money usually, do get slow weeks. I have a lot of crazy stories now ha. I want to buy brass from govliquidation.com, saw the stuff about the EUC form, that's all fine, i just dont have 700 or so bucks to throw at that yet, but i really wanna get into that. All day drive for me but sweet besides that. Would be interested in smaller amounts of scrap i could buy and actually make profit on, cheap stuff, any info or sellers would be appreciated.
