I had a particularly tough time and kept it to my self .
A unexpected expense of $2100 due to fines from Dogs off property from dog warden
from five years worth of tickets .( my neighbors kept calling up with pictures) yup $200 a pop . Finally they mellowed out
and nobody calls I think in time they felt bad for there revenge ??? ( the inventory )
any way pay or Jail as told to me by judge and I was not gonna test him .
I took an advance from work and figured no problem , I got scrap to survive till advance is paid ......
So paid the court - and the perfect storm happens ---- yeah guess ..... That was the week scrap DROPPED big time and fast
I could not believe it , the confidence of earning $100 from 1000 # mix turned to $60 $50 then $40 .04 a pound for mix
Copper bearing was paying what mix was .11 (almost ) I was devastated .
I had to act fast
Aluminum .48
Copper $2.12
saved me ,
then I found a yard paying .15 for copper bearing and that was fine cause for them that included TV boards VCRs
including motors - sealed units ETC . ( shout out to Greenblot Binghamton NY )
I kept the mix going for the $20 to $50 and pounded out copper - copper bearing - AL. and fast enough they were paying
.05 # to ,06 # for mix ...
It was hard - snow the cold - but the money kept flowing .
I respect the money power of scrap but we need remember how fast we can get put out . It has not been easy for us ,
even yards cut hours for there workers .
I survived from scrap and in this case cause I know how to dismantle and what is AL CB and MIX
Maximize what you have.
