Between scrapping and my day job, i wear gloves 8-10 hours a day and go through a ton. I find that if you can find ones that fit you well, they last much longer regardless of the quality. Mechanic...

I would say buy it immediately! That is the same model I have and I've had great luck with it. It paid for itself after my first trip to the yard.

As a collector, the "coolest" things that I have found have all been books. the best so far are 1st editions of Madame Curie's Biography, The Wizard of Oz and The Prince and the Pauper. Also scored...

I have found that some of the little plastic boxes attached to the boards have things that count as electric motors in them. I've also been getting light copper pricing for the black things that...

I moved out of CA what seems like a lifetime ago, so I don't remember how they operate, but I live in MA and cash in my water bottles in CT when I visit my mother. It has never been a problem for me...

I have seen those a few times and have been tempted to spend the extra money. Are the better than the Diablo blades? Those have served me well.

I would say you can fit 50 okay if you line them up properly. I'm figuring 3 rows of 11 with a couple odd balls tucked in and the rest laying flat on top. Bring a tarp or a cargo net and you're good.

People pay me to take piles of stuff and turn them into houses or cars, other people pay me to turn houses and cars into piles or stuff. I buy , sell and scrap what is left over. The pay is mediocre...

I have been scrapping for a little under a year now and have been going to the same scrap yard since I started. Right at the beginning I was told not to go there because they were new and their...

That is basically the stripper that I bought and I love it. It's a little tricky at first, but once you figure it out it will save a ton of time. I made my money back after about 10 days. Just make...

I just read what feels like a million posts about spark testing and couldn't find this answer, so I thought I would break down and ask.

When I test something, can I use a cut off wheel, or do I...

Welcome from Eastern MA. I have some family in CT, I'm out there all the time.

Duck.....

Have you seen my safety glasses? I may have just gone blind.

I ended up buying the stripper and the scale recommended above and they have changed my outlook on a lot of things. I am now much more willing to strip smaller gauge wire and have a much better...

Welcome Henry. It's always cool to see people from other parts of the world on here.

Trash it or put in on CL for free. I occasionally pick them up if the have a decent faucet on them and then put them on CL. After a week they are off to the dump.

I did a clean out a few weeks ago at a place that had been "abandoned" for a while. Ended up finding 2 coolers full of beer that still had some ice in them. The best I could figure was that some of...

I would base your price on on getting paid for #2 and cash in as is. If you get #1 price, great, but cover yourself just in case. I tend to strip things most people wouldn't bother with and even I...

I save all of my big coffee cans and cut a slot in the lid. Sharpie's write nice on the lids and they hold the little things that add up slowly.

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of what to strip off of boards and what to leave, I read about IC's, flatbacks, and eproms. Two weeks later I had a nice little bucket full and felt...

I would say it depends on how fast you can cut them apart. If you are quick, separate, if not, spend your time on something worth more than the small difference. To me I could probably break down a...

The box a shock tower comes in. Rough guess at size would be 6"x6"x24"

If you search through the forum there are a million threads on breaking down computers that will answer all of your question. Personally, I think you are on the right track. I break things down as...

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who occasionally does a basement/garage cleanout, dumpster dives or visits Curbco and ends up with a bunch of media that you swear you can make a buck on..........

I agree with Craigslist being your best shot. If you end up actually having to cut a hole in the tank or have to remove it, send me a PM and I will give you a detailed and simple walk through of how...
