all the fly by nighters have vanished but a few, all us hardcore scrappers are having a hayday picking up the extra trying to get it all and even sharing like last night I had a 3 people I ran into in the same areas and laughed and talked while even handing each other things we wanted, now I send out my heavy scrap by rail but shred has dropped to a penny a pound here in town and its not as busy at the yard in volume of trucks because most of us are building bigger loads to haul more at a time and making more trips in the day to try and get as much as we can before this dream is over.
all the good stuff is being passed over because people are just seeing the tin and not stopping to look and find the money like you normally would and with it cold out its getting slower for people just tossing a garage full so there tossing the big items or boxes full of stuff good for resale so its getting better and with xmas coming its going to be a surprise year for those few weeks after.
on a end of summer side note because of people dropping I got 164 lawn mowers this summer up from 30-50 normally and just got them broke down this past week to make room for winter. nothing real special but with resale to my outlets and scrap it is a extra $3700 in my pockets.
so I am happy and santa will get some yummy cookies this year
