Sorry guys didn't mean to abandon the thread have been busy working since this is a full time gig for me well actually scrapping is part time the other half is my ebay selling.
Anyways been trying to save up to get a pickup.
Long story short I suffer some anxiety and thus the reason I went partnership route was I always worried anxiety would flare up while driving so I didn't want to cause an accident
and since he was happy with getting the metal and shares of the other goodies and gas money it was more or less a hand shake deal win win for all.
Since he relied on word of the mouth and didn't want to have anything to do with computers I would do the advertising and when gigs came up that was all metal I would call him and give him the number and he took it from there.

I dont do well with people who try to screw me over as im sure mike will attest im a straight shooter and expect the same in return and unfortunately in this case has taught me im better off going solo and maybe do a future limited one time deal type partnership only. Its pretty **** hard to trust people now days well live and learn I always say.
