had an awesome week

went to thanksgiving day auction on a farm spent about 98$ made atleast 400... most of it was in cast iron tubs and romex. I returned today to continue loading up got to talking to the owner it turns out we grew up in the same area although he is much older then me we got to talking a little while he helped me load some things and he brought up that theres a bunch of junk cars on his farm that were dumped there before he bought the place and he needs them hauled away :) doesnt want any money for it, tried to offer him some going to check out the cars tommorow morning. he has been there a long time so im hopeing there in rough enough shape we can just tear them apart fairly easily. I have no idea how many cars there are but im excited.

Congratulations.

Sounds like the metal gods are smiling down on you. Cool score!

If they are old cars, remember to do some research first before ripping them up. There's money to be made in old parts that are in decent shape. If they are from the 1940's and before, check into selling them whole. You'd be surprised what people can do with rusted out hulls.

Nice lead. At the least, there should be some good emblems/ hood ornaments, etc. to be able to sell.

nice one! Offer to remove anything else left after all the auction stuf is gone...never know what you may get :)

this guy had an amazing collection of antique cars, and parts i have the feeling that if there was any value to them he wouldve take parts years ago when he moved in...

its kind of a shame for some reason they set up the auction cheap and in a hurry dont even have half his vehicles or items pictured he probobly couldve made a lot more money if it was done right

Nice score! Sounds like that will keep you busy for a while

nice find.. always research first before cutting to make more money.

ya ill definitly keep my eye out for emblems and sellable parts wont be starting it for atleast 2 weeks cus they are big time hunters and the season just started today around here.

Nice man. Congratulation for this work and best of luck for the future.
The metal seems to be on you. :D

Farm auctions and scrap are the best!!
