    So if starting your truck, driving there, loading up "for an hour", driving to the yard, unloading, driving home, and spending $20 in fuel is worth $2.50 of " free money" to you....you're a better man than me.



    Good luck out there.
    Not around here. Its currently .045c lb. So it would be at your rough guess of 3k.....about 100-125 cash. Sounds good to me. This was last week price, so dont if it went up, stayed, or lowered this week.

    So your telling me you wouldnt go pick up a 125 cash off the streets????? ****, if it was close. It would be already on my truck.

    Two just came into a new contact. He has a reputable scrap yard and will buy anything even without a title. So going to fetch a couple this week. I have a way to run the vin for free to check if stolen or lien. Then free game.

    Note these vehicles without titles abonded on floreclosed properites. So I do egt paperwork from the bank, stating their possesion and for me to remove. I dont charge them, they just give them to me. One hand washes the other. Niow I got the new contact, gonna be busy. I see a wrecker in my future.
