Welcome to SMF! Yep, the ol magnet trick, ferrous is magnetic, non ferrous is not ; ) Better than scrap value is always an added plus as well. I once bought a little brass spitoon at a yard sale for a dime, eventually listed it on Ebay in a very fun ad, "be the envy of the whole hootin hollar with your very own solid brass cuspidor! no more unsightly expectorations in the ash bucket!" and so on. That thing sold for $15! lol Excepting ewaste (mostly computers) I've given away far more scrap than I've sold. Came across this site while searching for a place to sell some old computer boards, and stayed around, steadily learning to maximize scrap that was already right here on the farm, then began getting word out ever so slowly, and picking up other scrap from various sources. Now I have a happy little scrap yard out behind the barn. Enjoy!
