I haven't posted in about a year. I sell purses at swap meets during the winter and do most of my scrapping during the off season.
I have noticed that this year there are a lot less scrappers around my area. I am associating this to the fact that prices are so low. I will say this is a good thing as it will allow me to collect more scrap in the same amount of time. Last year I could hardly curb shop this year scrap everywhere. I am not going to sell until prices go up. We have 100,000 scrappers during the up prices in a population of around 20,000....OK OK so that's like saying 3 out of 2 people are bad at fractions.
I see everyone on this forum (yes I been watching) complaining about the prices being so low. Think of the positive area of this. I bet you all have less scrappers also. Think of the good areas and just go with it. Yea I struggle during the summer and that's why I scrap but I bet even at these prices I can get enough bulk to make up for it. I am saving though and not cashing in (may some steel) until prices rise.
Enjoy the good in the prices and ignore the bad. It could always go lower.
