    In looking thru some numbers steel brings in 78% of the weight I've scrapped and 38% of the cash over the years. So If I am going to keep doing this I just can't bypass the steel. Also when breaking down stuff you always get some more steel.

    Went to the yard twice this week mostly appliances. I had some room on back of truck so found this old wok stove sitting in front of a Chinese restaurant. Mostly iron some S/S and brass pipe. I figured they wanted it hauled off so talked to the owner and it's for sale $400! I know restaurant stuff goes for top dollar but not seeing $400 on it.
