    E-Scrap Conference: Anyone going?

    Just curious if anyone planning on attending the E-scrap conference in Orlando in September? Or, if you have been to it before if you found it to be worthwhile?

    Looking at the site for them...I won't be.

    I'll save my reasons for a later date. Lets just say..reading the website doesn't have me putting faith in the folks running the show. To many alarm bells for myself. As always though...Your mileage may vary.

    Hopefully someone will chime in thats been and put my alarms silent..ha!

    I'm going to go. Serious about my business and I want to learn all I can. Probably bring the wife and make a mini Vacay out of it.

    If no one else is going to go then I am going to come back and post that a guy was there signing contracts buying CRT tubes for 2.37 a lb!

    You guys have fun!

    If I'm going to FL and dropping 500 bucks + ( hotel, food, transportation etc) I'll be taking the wife and enjoying my vacation.

    I'll await your reports and just consider you drunk if you say people are buying crts for 2.37 or whatever..lol. Remember to take pictures of that contract, or it didn't happen!

    Till then..see you all at the SMF convention!

    OK, $500 for admission? never mind. I live close enough to pop in for the day, so can still do that, but will meet up somewhere near the event. Maybe a scrap metal forum lunch meet up or something.

    At 500, they don't want the everyday small scrapper there. Process of elimination.

    Yea, there is no one day option I saw. it's 500 bucks for entrance to all seminars an convention. Being local you just gotta deal with reg fee, everyone else has to deal with hotel, reg fee, transportation..I'd rather just come down shell out money for a hotel, an hang out with you smf fl folk! lol.

    Either way anyone goes, make sure ya share the happenings..unless you gotta sign some disclosure agreement. Heh.

    Again anyone goes I hope they have a good time an get something out of it.

    i think they just want to regulate the life out of you & try to find ways to make you pay even more taxes & whatever.
    it always works that way- whenever the govt & big business sees the smaller guys making money out of something nobody gave a 2nd thought to before, they try to get a piece of the action

    ya my alarm bells are sounding with fury as well, for that price I could drive down there buy a few hundred computers scrap them while talking to people who are on this forum as buyers and sell them what I got, triple my money get great advice and contacts, hit up Disney and universal studios, swim fish and get a decent hooker yes I said hooker a good one cost the same amount as the crazy overpriced drinks I would be buying the ladies I would want to anyway and wasting less money and get to the point faster saving time and money lol lmafo and then come back home happy with money and look who was at the conference get there numbers if interested in them and give a call.

    Noooo! Not in February! It's cold down there! No matter what they tell you! That wind is a PITA. GRRR!

    But hey, I'd still rather be there then freezing my butt off on my sandbar. LOL.
