    Webuy has a good point. You gotta sell yourself to them, an your service to get it free. Or heck even cheap. Heh. I dislike sales, but it's part of the game. Yep they sure can take it to the dump themselves, but they gotta pay gas to do it, unload it themselves, etc etc. Gotta love the lazy factor. An yes..I play the lazy card on people, cause you can tell the folks who don't want to do the work. Mr. 9 to 5 banker isn't going to get his hands dirty taking a water heater to the yard. Lest not the typical one. Same with the Cubicle warriors. Most don't want to deal with it, an will gladly pay or give it to you free if you sell it right.

    Being personable will help you in the selling your service area. If you don't like chatting folks up, work out a pay sheet. A little personality can get you a whole lotta stuff.



    An I still stand by $1 per phone, not lb..is a bad thing. Unless your getting stuff for resale. Your results may vary.
