    I have a feeling this is all due to the dollar gaining strength again. When the dollar is weak, people want their “money” to be tangible so precious metals (eWaste) and other commodities gain value. Gasoline/diesel/oil will go up in price due to inflation (artificial or not).

    We are seeing the reverse of that. I filled up at 3.26 a gallon yesterday…IN NEW YORK!



    This is all based on my economics 101 knowledge, which I’ll admit was absorbed through osmosis most of the time. Seriously who schedules ECO101 at 8AM? Are they trying to keep this stuff a secret???

    I DIGRESS!

    But personally, I feel like if this weeds out the “get rich quick” scrappers, then I’m all right with that. Less competition and a good time to earn a solid reputation in town
