    I think that you're right to a certain extent. I've noticed a lot less scrappers around, which has been great for me. However, there comes a point where certain things aren't worth even dealing with anymore because of low prices. For example, I can't afford to ship in my Ni-based batteries because the price is a lot lower than it was, and shipping now costs more than they're worth.

    That brings me to another point, which is the cost of everything else. Gas has been going down a bit lately, but not much. Low prices are fine if the cost of other expenses are low. However, expense prices have stayed about the same while metals prices have dropped, which means less of a profit margin. I just thought I'd point that out

    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
