    slot machine...

    I picked a load of scrap from come one on CL for $50 I took the first batch to the yard and got $53 back... now I have 3 a/c freon Recovered of course. some random steel and a slot machine. the guy I got it from said the boards should be a buck a piece or so, as I take out the boards i see on this forum it says to cut the connectors off the wires etc.. what else in there can be reclaimed? I hope this is the right spot if not admin please delete.. this is my third post still learning. this site has tonns of discussions!!

    The machine isnt in great condition and if it was it would be in my man cave.. besides the guy I got it from said it didnt work. I kinda like the ebay idea for the parts. I also want to be sure I am separating the boards correctly for max profit... Im only doing this as a part time gig so I want to maximize profit with out sacrificing precious hours dismantling. I work night so I am on the road between 3:30 am and 5:30 am well before the garbage men and other scrappers. I guess a good place to start would be town websites telling which days are trash and which are recycling pick up days... i have a 98 gmc sierra club cab pick up with shorter bed, its actually too nice for a scrap truck.. can any one tell me if going into busines and write off another cheaper pick up and make mileage/ fuel deuctions etc be a better route for me???

    i bought a none running astro van on craigs for $300.
    about $100 later and it was running like a top. i even drove it from cali to texas this summer.
    no seats = about as much space as a longbed.
