    Tired of the cold weather? Feeling Rich?

    Find the "Mother Load" of scrap? Won the lottery? Inherited a fortune? Always wanted to live "Large"? Bob Hopes estate is for sale here in "Sunny Southern California", we are expecting 80 degree, blue sky's this weekend. The asking price $23 million and yearly property taxes of over $200,000.00.

    Here in sunny Florida it is 70 degrees and I can smell the neighbor burning the insulation off of his copper wires. Here in Fruitville we pay our taxes in chicken eggs.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I'll pass. At $0.05 per pound, I would need 230,000 tons of scrap.

    Not going to happen! For that much money, I could buy a pretty cool space heater...

    scrappers in Beverly hills dress business casual and use limos to conceal their finds. 15 seat stretches can do just like your chevy 2500 but instead can stash full length gutters. what they do is built a flip up door instead of the whole back truck and on one side but flush so it still looks the same so area to load and unload easier.
    these things with a beefed up frame and hide a wheels can haul almost 6000lbs on a good day as long as its spread out inside and if ya got the time you can flush cut the entire length so its like one big topper on a long flat bed.

    P.S. this is just B>S but I dream big
