    I guess I should elaborate. I have two other business's, plus my wife also has two businesses ,which I help with. Scrap is an outlet for me. I enjoy keeping stuff out of landfills . I very rarely sell anything. Scrap is part of my retirement plan. I understand the business end, I could never make a profit paying someone to scrap a printer. But sense of enjoyment I get separating all the various commodities, knowing that it's not polluting our planet drives me. Iam lucky, I don't rely on scrap for an income. I work hard everyday, and love the it! I don't pay for any of my scrap, so its all profit. Anytime I can take a hammer to something is a stress relief for me.

    I completely understand. I do mine as a side business as well. I just figure the shredder at the yard and the eddy currnt/magnet blet will separate all the good stuff out and the plastic should get recycled as well. I just let the boys with the million $$$ setup do it. LOL

    It IS stress relief though...I like my big old hammer.....
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    You and I are from the same mold JunkFreak. This is how I scrap too! I can sit on the couch and get fat or I can make a nickel here and a dime there. A gentleman I trained dogs for who is a multimillionaire told me once, "I turn nickels into dimes and dimes into dollars" I hear his words everyday I scrap.
