Hello all !!
I am new here so thought I would contribute something to the site. Hopefully it will be useful info to someone.
I was getting my cell phone repaired not to long ago and was chatting with the guy doing it. He asked what I did and I said I was a metal scrapper, he said really, I have some stuff just a few blocks from here at my house if you want it. I asked what....blah blah blah you know how it goes
Went to his house and loaded a bunch of stuff up, as I was getting ready to leave he asked if I wanted this piece along his back fence? I went and looked and said sure.
It was a piece of solid steel 3/4" weaved rod, I loaded it and headed for home. As I drove home I thought, "I am not scrapping that, I am going to see if I can sell it"
So my point to the title is, as many of you know, not everything you come across should be sold to a scrap yard. Many items you can sell on Craigslist or by connections for much more money then you will get scrapping it.
I listed the item as a "Grate..sift...large piece of screen ??? " on Craigslist and sold it for 50.00 in a couple days. More then 5 times that of what I would have got scrapping it.
So keep an open mind on stuff !!
Here is what it was:
Happy Scrappin !
