    Stick with what what works for you!

    On more than one occasion I have contacted people here in regards to buying items that they have listed. On more than one occasion I have been told that " i don't need that right now, I have enough in stock", or " I buy only certain amounts or certain types". Well guess what, now I will stick with what has worked for me in the past. That is sticking with the buyers I have used or have been well established here and have been used by the senior members here. They would be ewasted, phillyscrapbuyer, and soon PTS.
    For the newer buyers here I would suggest that if you are going to say you are going to buy something either list any limitations you have on each item or don't bother listing it. If you are a buyer then unless otherwise noted you are expected to buy whatever quantity is offered to you. That is my expectation as a seller.
    End of rant, thank you.

    Dang.. That is a problem to have! I'd toss and turn at night knowing I had a tractor trailer load of converters with my name on it.. if Only I had the Cash to "Make them Mine" Oy.. I'd never sleep a good night sleep again!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Your not advertising as a buyer on here Liberty....though If you have the offer I would be robbing Peter to pay Paul to get my hands on a trailer load of cats if the price was right

    the big question is: If you had the cash, would you turn much of a profit at their asking price?
