got my @$$ kicked today
we have been swamped the last two weeks, as you know we hit car number 49 and 50 last monday and i think a couple more, today we hit 60, 61,62,63,and 64, plus this morning before we got started i went to a little town a few miles away and picked up 5 computer towers, and my partner went the other way and picked up a stainless steel stove and a dishwasher. ive not had time to read the posts like i like to. we had the toughest one to load tonight that we have ever had since our first one. had a cougar and a astro van in the same yard back yard i might add paralel to the house beside another house the cougar wasnt that bad as it was the farthest out, the astro van was about 5 feet from the house had to jackknife the trailer four flat tires with running boards, we were there for probably half an hour before we got it loaded. plus side today we got a brand new blue point battery charger from my buddies pawn shop, right now in the yard we have an astro van, mercury cougar, chrysler cirrus, oldsmoibe siloutte, and a oldsmobile 442 87 model, the jaguar will be for sale as my partner traded the bronco for it, we had to scrap the auroa today because we ran outa money buying so many cars. heres the 442 my buddies pawn shop is selling for us 350 runs good but something is up with the transmission he said its a super easy sell even if it was just the body

Thanks , financially im pretty sure i could do it full time and get by with it, to be honest ive got the best factory job in town plus i only work my 3 12hr days. my child support of course comes out there and thats convienent, full benefits if i can make it to 57. i just wish i started this when i was 30 instead of 39 back then i could go a couple days straight, im gonna gut out work this weekend even tho i hate to, gotta pic up a car this afternoon, ill post pics of it on the trailer or in the yard with the rest of them tomorrow, sold the van 600 less than scrap probably by a little but i didnt have to break it down and made good money in about 28 hours, plus its let me make some offers over the weekend gotta take another nap a little less than two hours i gotta wake up and go get the car. thortek, we havnt really decided what to ask for on the jag yet, i stated b4 you may or may have not seen but the inside of the jag is hammered pretty good, now the outside is pretty nice as you have seen, we are hoping its going to be our homerun as the pawnstars say

What's your secret. how much are you paying for the cars and where are you advertising.
I've been almost dead for 2 weeks. There's SOOO many junk car buyers in this area it's not even funny.
You open the newspaper and there's like 25 of the listed.

junky im really lucky and i know that, i have one or two real competitors here and after meeting them in person they are not very professional at all, they cuss and cuss and cuss, so im assuming if they talk like that to me they also will totheir customers, we have a mininum of 200 and a max of 500 for complete cars no matter what but we get most of them for right around 250 or so, the last car i got was the bmw on friday, but my buddy got a call for a buick this morning and i got one for a s10 tonight so we have al least two for today. i advertise in craigslist and on the free papers in my area you should have them there in the fronts of gas stations and restaurants, we pay 80 a week for an ad it only takes one car to pay for it and thats where we have gotten our best cars. for those that say 200 is too much i got a geo prizm last week the body was 260ish and the cat i got 90 for(my yard called it a small import), still got the battery. just to cover my but on that car i told them if the cat wasnt on the car i would dock 35 off but im glad it was there. i only do that on the small ones tho
