4 years ago when the scrap fever hit me , things could be sold out of innocence & the yards might even turn and look away .But the more you sell to them and build up records of receipts that will need a large box to hold those receipts . The scrap yards hold you way more accountable on your products as they expect you to know what to sell them , last thing they need is a customer of 4 years getting investigated for selling stolen items to them, nobody looks good.
