    Exclamation Back 'yall!

    Hello everyone, has certainly been a while since I have logged in! Hope everything is well in your neck of the woods. My scrap production is way way low (no calls or curb co . Also the prices are down. I have been working my but off at work making the $$$ so im still alright. If these prices continue, I might have to change my hobby :/

    Thankfully the gas prices are down ($2.55 where I am) but in the world of curb shop scrappers, it just means more competition. I have never seen so many other scrappers out before and its not even the spring cleanup season yet!! I feel like the whole city will be out whenever that week comes around. Haven't even called my local yard to check the prices, but just watching marcelstjean on youtube being very upset about the prices makes me upset i guess lol.

    I guess my plan is to still go curb shopping, only parking instead of driving. I'm going to talk to as many scrappers as possible and I will start buying anything resealable items on craigslist. Mostly buying lawnmowers and big snow blowers that i can fix up, but open to anything with an engine. I feel like if i can give them some $$$ and give them more space in their truck, i wouldnt think they would refuse my offer. Plus the truck is getting all fixed up, all body work/scratches/rust/undercoat will be fixed on her.

    Hopefully if the prices go back up, i will be back more often

    Cheers,



    Ben
