The best piece of advice I have is know what you have, know what you can sell it for, then go get it.
It frustrates me when someone says you should be able to get 6 gallons of water out of that 5 gallon bucket because I don't know if they are ignorant a crook or both

I do realize that some if not most of the wire I generate is probably low recovery..........I'll shop it around and probably just take the best I can get.........Perhaps if I have a larger amount can get a better price
