    An this is what they told me!!..must read...has photos.

    I hate it when people say "we have a HUGE amount of scrap" an you like great an you run there an its like 2 pallets of steel...that sucks..but hey..it happens.

    This person called me an said they had some scrap an they are looking for a buyer..they wanted me to come out an take a look *was a 45 miles away an back* an so...I did. I went out there to take a look at there "scrap"

    This time..They did not over state the amount...but WAY UNDER STATED the amount of scrap they have there...

    I'll have to send out around 20 van trucks an around 5 or 6 workers to get it all out..an even that...I think it will take over 3 months JUST to get it out of there!!! Not even counting brake down an all of that good stuff...this load....is going to be...FUN.

    I have to send a letter to them on offer on everything an will be going back to take a better account of the items that are there so I can tell them what they have an dont have. Either way I think I have it...they had two other companies back away from it...I thought that was because there was very little...now I think its because there was TO MUCH!!

    Just thought I would post my fun project for the next....6months or so until I have it all done an sent out...



    Here are the photos..you should be able to click on it an see them.

    P.s....I did not take a photo of the same item 2 times

    Every time I get on here, I hate being in the military(situational). There is so much stuff to do and my hands are too clean. Nice grab!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but alot of the stuff looked like appliances. Are any of them working? If so, you have enough there to start your own used appliance store.

    I cant make that my 24hour deal like you said. I have about 4 accounts I have to take care of weekly. I have one I am going to tomorrow that I will get around 600pounds of wire. 4,000 pounds of steel/tin, 150pounds of computer motherboards, 10pounds of CPU's

    I pay for it tho...I wish I got it all for free...lol. I buy an resell a huge amount of scrap..that is how I make my money. I know where I am going..what I am getting...how much I am getting its great but you have to watch the bottom line very closely!!

    I have plans on getting a few trucks there this coming week. If it all goes the way I am thinking..it will be a very good payday....i'll keep ya'll posted on the story as it comes.

    All I can say is I took out one small load *truck bed* that I made a nice penny on (spent $2,071.00 an made 2.650.50 when sent it out to be refined the day after)

    Oh man, you definitely get major kudos from me! What a find and what a thing to tackle. I'm jealous! You have definitely given us all a reason to continue with this type of work. I know that good things happen to good people....so my question to you is...how did you make God so happy? You do great work. Thank you easyrecycle for the post.
