    Wink Hey there guys.

    Hey there everyone my name is Zach or MindfullyMetal. I recently undertook scrapping for fun and for a little extra money. I recently bought a small truck and figured I can possibly scrap. I am quite new to scrapping and any advice would be great. I'm from Indiana and am in college here for culinary art (I am a personal chef). I just wanted to say hello to all of you and look forward to reading all your posts.

    Welcome from another Hoosier, as you read up on stuff you'll want to figure out what you want to mess with as far as scrapping goes. The Scrap Monster button on the main page will take you to some sample prices for different stuff so you can see what things are worth. You scrapyard will have different prices but at least you'll get an idea. Some of these people (guys and gals) do vehicles, some do appliances, some air conditioners, and escrap, and some do it all together. You'll figure out what's available in your area.
