Didn't actually say that. Im very polite when i tell people.
What are you getting a ton and it should have been worth $400 i would have paid that for it
You make next to nothing at my
400 in my opinion... To each their own but i wouldn't dare pay that. Had steel rims and bald tires. Cats on those aren't worth alot. Plus my time and fuel. Like i said i don't work for free. And besides now that you're paying 400, the next guy will pay 410. So on and so on. Driving prices way up till there's nothing left. That's already what's happened. People used to pay other people to remove cars...now everyone's paying more than scrap value. And its only goin up.
The name of the game is to make the most while spending the least. That's what any business strives to do.
Im gettin 190 per ton. But i also remove alot so the weight would be less. 3 hours isn't bad. I always make my hourly wage back. And i never have luck selling parts. Ive been sitting on a set of almost brand new tires for over a year now. Can't even give them away for 200 bucks for the set.
There may be some profit to some people but there's not enough profit to keep me interested. I don't scrap cars to make 100 bucks. Not with the work that's involved. Like someone before said "next"
Im not trying to be nasty here. Im just saying that paying hundreds for scrap cars doesn't net much profit. Not enough for me anyways.
