    Angry My treasure chest is empty

    Well at least I got paid to empty it out
    I had to sell all my nonferrous and e waste this past weekend.
    It was a lot of fun to finally make some money out of all my hard work from the past few months



    Here are some pics of my load

    stats


    copper




    e-scrap










    first picture is a spreadsheet with all the weight and payout's

    total $2566
    Zar is south African rands ( 1$ = 8 zar)

    ps : let me know what you think of my load
    prices in south africa realy suck, i would have loved USA e-waste prices

    Good going Goldfinger. Hard to see in the photos what you had as they are pretty small.

    Happy scrapping.

    I did and I clicked on the thumbnails but pictures were still small.

    Here is the link to Admins thread on how to embed pictures;

    Looks like you had it all separated well.

    man thats a nice pile of copper you had there, someone has obviously taken the advise of the forum members on sorting and maximizing there profits, thats a great looking haul, stay motivated you seem to have a good system going for you.
