    Smile mike from indana

    ive been scrapping for a little while now. ive scrapped window ac's,microwaves,stoves,washers,a dish washer,satalite dishes,got some house wire from a guy,tosters,tv's. i mainly stick to small things if i can help it because i dont have a car. my grandma drives me to scrap yard with her car. i like things that arent steel not worth it to me. small town is nice i haven't gotten up the courage to ask people if they have scrap things yet i don"t know how they will react they mite be mean=(

    Welcome Mike. You sound like a enterprising young man. What about if you made up some cards to hand out? That would impress people more then asking for stuff. Try to include the fact that what you are doing is Green and helping the Earth, that is a big seller these days.

    Like Joe said, it's real easy to print up your own cards, here are the one's I printed up. Musta went thru around 300 before I got my new ones printed at Vista print. Got a lot of business off of those cards. Made up some small flyers like them also for the laundry mats. Very easy to print up using the do-it-yourself cards at Walmart. Makes you look more professional.

    welcome to the forum Mike. It sounds like you are off to a good start. Keep reading thru older threads and you'll learn shortcuts for breaking down and organizing to make more money. Good luck.

    22 lol live with parents lame i no, free rent. but this is the only thing ive got to try and make money from no other jobs that i can see out there. yea i guess i could print cards that might be good and i should say it is to save the earth wich it is we get 40 percent of our copper from scrappers and its encergy efficient to=) people should also go to land fills and pick things up instead of buring it in the ground. like my state park there is alot of junk from the houses that got taken down when they put up the park but im not sure its legal to take the metal out of it or not keep in mind im just looking for non ferrous metals that not magnetic right?

    No, not too much. We get a better picture of who you are now. Before, we'd just been guessing. That's why we stress introductions so much.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
