Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi !!!!

Its a cut throat biz here in the states and the last thing you'll see is my lending ahand to anyone getting in between me and making a dollar

You know Tater, I was in the janitorial business for thirty years, probably one of the most cutthroat businesses out there, and we all hated one another. Then one day I figured out thar there was more than enough business out there for all of us and actually became friends with a few of my competitors. My life became much more pleasant and I discovered through strategic alliances that my business actually prospered better that way.

You could be right but I do this to support a wife and three kids and I take it personally when sum one gets in the way of that

I don't have alot of contact with local scrappers, but I am trying to. Much of the scraping I do is computers so I am trying to buy from them. It has worked with a few.



I am also in contact with several members of this forum, one in town, two with in 100 miles and another half way across the country. These associations have been helpful to me and hopefully helpful to them. I can understand the desire not to help the local competion but getting to know the really good operators might be very helpful. Mike.

Got plenty of family if I need extra help or I hire help, paid by the hour, been burned two many times in partnership and besides that wana make myself money not the ppl helping me. That doesn't mean I don't pay my help well I just pay myself better

Yep, ditto Tater.
