    Thanks for the kuddos man. I just need to remember- I have a business plan and am sticking too it. I got a guy up the street who is trying to "compete with me" he hauls all day long. I bill 50 hours a week, and do this on the side, he stopped over to brag this morning.. I just laughed- this is spare and pocket money for me and a reason to putter, his is trying to pay the bills and eat. I'd rather keep going like I do making a couple hundred or more profit on each one.

    you will have competition drop in, i guarantee he was checking out your operation, he may have been bragging but he was also checking you out, my favorite is when they call and ask for a price on a car, you give them a quote and they say well "let me ask my wife" lol how many wives want to leave the junk car in the yard, you never hear from them on that car again but a few weeks later you'll get the same number they are just fishing for information, its just part of reality every car you buy is one he can't get and vice versa

    The sad part is he is the guy who helped me get started. Now he seems to be on some kind of mission to "put me in my place" Like I said- two totally different business plans. I own my own General Contracting company and do this for pocket money, he has no income other than how many cars he pulls. :-)
