    Do you strip them down or just haul and collect?? Might be a little difference in money if you strip them down according to our pro haulers then you might survive,

    Welcome to the forum. With the lower prices now the forum is even more important than ever. Read all the old threads you can and you may discover missed profit opportunities. Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    thanks for the hospitality... i do strip them down a little.

    my grandfather ran a junk yard, and the recycler kingpin's father and him were buddies (both passed).


    we have a fairly monogomous relationship, i do some side work for him on electrical/elecronics and he takes care of me by giving me complete car prices even though i take converters and aluminum rims.

    so now with the prices so low, i have been selling some as parts cars rather than taking them to the crusher.

    i almost feel like i'm cheating on him, ya know.
