    Talking WHAT'S UP PEOPLE! Help?

    Greetings from VA, I am eager to explore this website and am looking to make some money off of this scrap metal idea of mine...I used to work AT the scrapyard, but now scrap on my own and make more than I did at the place. SO, any tips? Any secrets from you more experienced folk out there? BTW- I'm only interested in legal ideas...

    Sure here's a tip: If you're making more scrapping than at your job at the scrap yard, then keep on doing what you're doing.

    Be respectful to the practice and don't leave messes. Get business cards and have professional approach. Oh yea, read, learn, and ask questions.

    Tips we have, secrets we have but if we tell you our secrets then they'll no longer be secrets. First tip-read all the old posts on this forum (that will keep you busy for a while) and if you still have questions then feel free to ask.
