    What makes you a happy scrapper

    Just to make the admin happy

    When you buy that $5 box and when you open it up its a dual core that you can part out on ebay for over $100

    People bringing stuff by to "throw on the pile" just to get rid of it.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
