    $4/hr? i'd estimate between time spent curb shopping and breaking down i am averaging close to $10/hr... and i don't even know what i am doing yet.
    clearly anyone that knows the business is making much more than that.

    He lives in Wisconsin and only wears shorts and flannels. I don't think we need to say anymore about his stupidity.

    I hope he goes door to door nationwide and tells everyone that scrapping only pays $4/hr. Competition is fierce here and I'm guessing most of the country is the same way.
    Satisfaction is the death of desire.

    You can easily make $10 hour processing low grade boards/ scrap. I prefer the stuff that has gold on it, it pays alot better.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    the bennies hes talkin about are probably welfare and food stamps which us $4 an hour scrappers are paying for.
