I'm in Manitoba, parked my truck and have it up for sale.

Had a guy offer me a combine, couple of trucks with some misc junk last week. When I turned it down he offered me a cash incentive I still refused then I sold a nice pile of brake drums and misc scrap to Jack where is as is he can deal with it. If there had been more weight at the combine place would have done the same.

Ya I know what you mean one of my friends who scraps in southern Ontario has told my the price is drooping like a rock there but its still paying $60-$80 more a ton there here in Alberta its only a matter of time tell it goes back up I'm guessing sooner than later if it doseint well me and the family are moveing back home to southern Ontario so I'll just keep on scraping there the price is a lot better
