Hello,
My name is Clay and I live in Southern Oregon. Ever since I was a child I was dumpster diving and recycling with my parents, it went on into college to save money. Unfortunately, I have taken a long absence from all life due to some mental disorders that can be debilitating at times so holding down a job has not been possible. But we need money to live. So a scrappers life for me i went back to my roots as treasure hunter. No matter how small the load it is always exciting to see what your gonna get. my only problem is that I have the mentality of, "well if it works or is good and can be used as is then why scrap it? I would really appreciate someone's opinion, in your experience is it more worthwhile to scrap working appliances, electronics and furniture or should I spend the time trying to sell older electronics and appliances on craigslist? What has been your experience.
Anyways, I really enjoy working for myself and I needed almost no capital to get started, which is good because I am broke, I am borrowing a truck and have plenty of tools. The truck that I am using is tiny so I am saving up for (and looking for one free) then a bigger truck, business cards, etc. After three days of just getting free stuff on craigslist I am already turning more of a profit than I've made in years.
I can jump into things overly excited, but I can say that I believe in all honesty and keeping sensibility in mind; This is my best shot to make it in life. there is so much to learn and I am very grateful to be a part of this cmmunity.
Thank you so much and I hope to meet some friends,
-Clay
