there are always posts from noobs (my term) here describing how rude some of us are.
let me try to put a face on that, first of all any one who is involved in other forums like this, know we are sweet harts compared to most others, like gold recovery forum, or Road food. I am a member of both, now if you dont believe that go to the gold forum and ask how to recover gold from computer parts. or to road food and ask how to start a hot dog stand and see what happens.
we dont mind answering questions, but we do mind being taken advantage of. and the verification is there, just go to the home page scroll down to the right bottom corner all of those names you see in the most thanked collumn, are the very people you complain about.
the reasion for that is simple, most of us can tell by the questions you ask, wether you are searious or not, and don't want to waste valuable time and very valuable information on those who arn't, or , those who will put them selves or others in danger.
most of us, except for the buyers, have seen declining incomes because of the number of people turning to scrap as a necessity. we understant that. for those people we will still be here scrapping long after the economy comes back, if it does, and you go back to work at Home depot walmart or where ever.
I personaly don't blame you, this is the society we have today, raised in the time of no score, every one gets a trophy little league. This is the real world and every one does not get a trophy. you have to earn them. and you start by attempting to educate your self a little there will be little spoon feeding here so dont expect it. at leas not untill you learn enough to NOT ask questions like, where do I find metal etc.
just since I have come back from the hospital there were 3 threads about converters.
3 about what is this worth ( we dont know we dont deal with your yards or even in your part of the country for the most pat.) #1 bare copper is $2.48 here 60 miles up the road it is $3.48 so how would we know what it is worth where you are. What that does tell us is that you are not searious enough to do a little home work on your own.
just know this scrapping is not easy money unless you are just looking for a little beer or pot money, and that is not what we do here. at least most of us, we are doing this because we love it. so please don't disrespect that. just stop and think about the question you are going to ask, then use a little common sence and ask away you may be plesently surprised. just my .02
