    Why the small gigs are important...

    I went to meet up with a guy today to sell a microwave that I found and repaired. I sold him the microwave for $25 and I let him know that I haul metal and old electronics for free. It turns out that he is the head of IT at a local business and is going to be needing my services soon for a large quantity of towers/crts!

    You never know when something small could lead to a much better deal.



    Still vigilant guys!

    True that. Many times purchasing a item or vehicle, I buy the majority of my scrap, has lead to much more scrap down the line.

    I'm glad to see the good luck coming other people's ways. I too have been fortunate in scoring items and making contacts for scrap lately.
