    $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.

    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

    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.

    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"
