hey landmine

like jg says, i just havem sign the title as a seller so in all actuallity if i sell it on the way home im basically just a delivery driver. dont get me wrong its still luck of the draw on the cars because i buy them blind over the phone and have no idea what they look like. the truck today i was already on the lookout for a 90s shortbed chevy for a hotrod shop building a 60s truck, to be honest i coulda scrapped it for a little more but it only had a 10mile ride on my trailer. my new car guy is a carlot about 3 miles from my house on the way home from one of the cities surrounding me. i tried a few times before i got him to buy anything, it took some time but we built a relationship finally. im not sure now but ive sold him several in the last couple months. when i left today he said when you get something else let me know. i quote my first wrecker service i picked up ole John Henry that ive posted before, he said you can shear a sheep its whole life BUT you can only skin it once, really great advice if you think about it, i sell the carlot cars where he can make a good profit even after repairs but still at a higher price than i could ever scrap them for, its a win win win for everyone involved. the same way when i buy them in bulk from the wrecker services i pay more than i would to an individual but they leave me enough to make it worth my time to scrap. ive been fortunate the last few weeks getting several sellable project cars.

if you can get them and remember my quote from John Henry a steady flow of cars can be obtained from wreckers services, repo men, bailbondsmen, mechanic shops and body shops, ive not put any numbers together yet but guessing i get between 10 to 15 a month just from these sources on average
