    You guys in Ma talking about Durango's
    I just picked up one today guy said just needs a new fuel pump
    Just listed on eBay and Craigs
    1999 99 Dodge 4X4 Durango 8-318 5.2L engine auto tran NICE tan Leather Interior | eBay

    If it does not sell as a complete unit, will be parting before I squish
    So let me know if you need parts
    If it had less mileage on it, I would suggest fixing the water pump and selling it for more.

    Water pump is not the problem
    Fuel pump is bad
    I never fix them, or clean them >> I sell them the way I get them
    If I still have them a week after they were picked up >> TO the squisher they go!

    I'm curious why you don't fix them? I pocketed $1,900 profit on a mini van a few months ago by fixing it. Beats shred price any day.

    I guess I must be delusional. I thought the thread title was "prices are up boys." Took some #2 insulated wires in today for the first time since April, when the price was 53 cents per pound. Got paid 30 cents per pound today. Good thing I decided to wait on taking in my #2 copper, otherwise I'd be screaming right about now. On the bright side, I was able to talk the guy at the scale into changing the category of my aluminum from sheet to extrusion, for an extra nickel per pound. All I did was ask him to explain to me why he categorized it that way.

    280 ton today for cast at Scrap It.

    It was busy but the guy around the scale does a great job, specially if you talk with him each time you go in.

    On the christmas lights. Ive processed alot of strings of these. I cut the sockets with the bulbs in them off. Sell the copper wire as #2 insulated. Then sell the 10 pounds or so of sockets with bulbs in them as replacement bulbs on ebay. Instead of throwing them away. You can sell them like 10 bulbs for $5, 100 for $20 and so on. I made $60 on just the bulbs of a prelit fake tree. Not to mention the $2 for the steel and the $10 for the copper wire. A couple hours work but worth it.
