    Don't Get Complacent!!! Call For the Best Price ALWAYS!!!

    Totally My Bad!!! I know I am tying myself to the proverbial whipping post on this, but I wanted to help put a little more money in my fellow scrappers pockets this week. I live and scrap in the L.A. Harbor area of Southern California, and am blessed to have many, many scrap/recycling centers. For the past year (that's right a YEAR!)I went to my regular spot and collected the cash! I had done my comparison shopping a year back as well and I grew comfortable going there and ASSUMED (you know what you get when you spell A-S-S-U-M-E) I was getting top price per pound. Wrong! I make videos of my scrap runs for my high school Life Skills classes to see on YouTube and a gentlemen in Melbourne, Australia pointed out that what I was getting for tin (3-5 cents per pound was a BIT low-ya think?!?!?!?) Needless to say I got double (10 cents) on my next run and cleared $100+!!! Lesson learned and will let my fingers do the walking before EVERY load!!! Make that money kids!!!!! Mea culpa maxima!!!!
