    Hello from colorado

    I consider myself a part time scrapper. I do it for extra money and mostly do computer and electronics scrapping and what ever I find on trash day in my hood. I have a 12 by 20 shed in my back yard that i use to scrap from. I have read alot of posts on this forum in the past 2 days and look foward to getting to know all of you. I can tell right now that easy is probable going to block me from sending him pm's cause I have alot of questions for him....

    easy won't care as long as you have read all his posts and watched his videos first. Spend a lot of time reading up and if you don't find your answers then ask. Glad to have you with us and look forward to seeing your progress.

    I go to Atlas Metals downtown and I do alright by them, good prices plus it is a straight shot one way on 13th Ave for me to get there.
    Also its fun to see the variety of scrappers there everyone from your grocery store shopping cart peddler, bicycles that are pulling shopping carts, cars full up inside and outside on the roof and from there to the 18 wheel big rigs, Saturday morning is the best time to see it all.

    Mostly old stuff, I don't even think there were any electronics from this century. I got some some stuff to resell and a bunch of wire.
