    its a small world in the life of a scrapper

    so its funny how small our world is because I responded to a ad buying lcd/led/plasma TV's $10-25 working or not and waited for a email back and got one. its was a fellow auction buyer and he was fixing them and reselling as a side line to make more money off things and so we met again and talked business. so he is going to buy or trade at times TV's with me and use them for parts and then the rest of the scrap he will give back to me and this way his trash is gone my break downs are easy and making money is even better.
    now I do sell working ones myself but this way I don't have to wait and can get a decent profit and get things done a lot faster so money is not just collecting dust or should I say blood cause in this business if your not bleeding your not doing it right lol happy scrapping all

    Yep, it's also handy if your tv ever breaks, you already have a trustworthy repair man! I have "a guy" for computers, tvs and lawnmowers now, all found me through my online ad.

    That's cool. Due to changed circumstances with me I am learning about the profit to be made in selling for better than scrap $$. What I at first thought was going to be a limited liability is turning into a learning and profitable experience. Thanks SMF members! I've always said it ,this forum and it's members are the most valuable tool in my box!!!
