    Introducing myself...

    My name is Byrd and I run a used auto parts store / salvage yard. We also have 2 tow companies with our sister companies. I am very accustomed with automotive scrap like cats, harness, motors ext...

    but I also get a lot of other items like phones, chargers, navi units, radios, cable boxes, laptops and much more (its crazy the things that are left in these impounds) and until until recently I have either just tossed most of it all in the dumpster or left it in the crushed vehicles...(i know, what a waist) so my buddy said there is a lot of money to be made and referred me here.



    I am not much of a forum type of guy, but I figured I will give it a shot because I am a money type of guy. So if you all can excuse my poor forum etiquette, I will try not to screw up too bad or ask too many stupid questions while I try and navigate this new source of info and hopefully lots of extra cash!

    For now just begin to collect all electronics and store them in a dry place to be processed later......some things can be re-sold and others stripped for parts (similar to scrapping vehicles)

    Cmon man , you’re better than this .

    The gentleman posted a discussion about what he had and he desired more money. I replied. Also I purchased a new ad as well so everyone is helping each other a little.

    Its a time in the world to work together not against.

    I didn't find this one offensive.......APA is known buyer and as far as I know has a paid buyers thread..........It may have been against the "letter of the law" but I thought it was ok but what do I know I'm just a regular guy

    That was my old paid thread. I decided to pay for a new smaller basic one. I am putting money into the forum in a small way to keep everything going. OP posted about what he was looking for. I thought I answered him properly.

    I try to answer every post, email, and text from the forum within 24 hours. Some people disappear for years.
