    Glad you joined us George. It's always good to get the perspective from the other side of the scales. I hope you can find time to join us often and join in our discussions and I'm sure you'll be asked a lot of questions.

    Thanks, I am glad that you like it. Where I am from, people trust you more when you own or even work for a company, versus just some guy with a truck and trailer.

    Well so far, I learned a new tip about a possible way to obtain scrap metal. Shooting ranges. Not sure how will it will work out, but since my brother in law has a lot of connections, I will be looking into that very soon.

    I am happy to help anyway I can.

    I can tell you the answer is probably going to be different from anyone that answers lol. For example, I asked at both yards I use and one sends overseas and one sends to the big city nearby and it stays ''in house'' as I like to call it. I much rather appreciate the one that stays here instead of us sending overseas to scrap out and then we buy it right back. I'm just trying to support the US as much as possible on all ends.

    Dee, that might just be what that poster was asking about (the *where*), as myself, I was curious where stuff went but I never asked how much THEY made off stuff, lol. Kinda like not discussing paychecks with co-workers ya know?

    Kind of a silly question, go to Walmart and ask them who they buy from and how much profit their making off of you.
    Not being impolite here but I would not go there.

    I run this from my home, so anything I get, I go and pick it up.

    I do let people know where I take things, but the thing is, they just ask out of curiousity, because before me, they didn't know someone did this stuff.

    That, and the fact that most are to lazy to do it themselves.

    Couldn't tell you who he is.

    Also, with all due respect, but am I not allowed to answer to his threads?

    I have been talking in several threads since I joined yesterday.

    I wasn't really meaning nothing by it. Just something I say to anyone who asks me that question is all.

    Like you, I also like to know who I am dealing with as well.
