I'd set a record last trip with a load of copper and brass - $750. Today, set another record - 2520 lbs of car parts and more copper, aluminum, brass and a couple of catalytic converters - $957.41.
Today's load:

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Not broken. That's how it came new. Has a sliding back window. Never really noticed how dark it is. Just noticed that I'd made a mistake - it was 1520 pounds; not 2520.Originally Posted by Scraplogic
nice load...how long did it take to get all that stuff to start with?
|

Hard to tell. Some of the copper is stuff I've had around a couple years. Other stuff, I got this month. Some stuff I've still got is recent, too. I don't haul in any order; just get a load together and haul it in.

Way to go!

It's always nice to beat your own best. Hope to do it a couple times myself this summer!

Ive heard catalytic converters are good money but ive never taken them. What do they pay there and how do you have to prepare them?
|

You don't do anything to prepare them unless you mail them to a buyer. Then you cut the pipes as short as possible to save mailing costs. Value varies greatly, by type. They go from a couple dollars for an "aftermarket" to a couple hundred dollars for exotics. You need to be very good at identification before buying cats. I thought I was pretty good and still misidentified an Aftermarket as a Large Ford because rust masked some marking. "Education costs".

I told you on the converters i can help you with them.Sometimes though the aftermarkets missing the shield are hard to identify
