    Hey, My name is Craig and I just came across this site while searching google for some tips to maximize my profits while scrapping. Have already read and learned alot over the last couple hours. Wish I would have found this place sooner. I know with the info Ive learned just in my short time being here, I have lost out on some big $$ that could have been made just by sorting a little more. Ive never really understood why there were multiple ratings for the same types of materials, but now I know Im in for alot bigger profits in upcoming trips to the metal yard.

    I look forward to learning more and being and active member in this forum.
    Thanks
    Craig

    Im from Ft.Wayne. Not to far from Columbia City. It really doesnt suprise me there are alot of you from around here. We have to have at least 10 metal yards within a 15 mile radius. I dont know if they are this common in other areas, it just seems like alot.
