Scrappin' Sifu here saying "Hello" from beautiful downtown northeastern Pennsylvania, home of coal-mine subsidences, frequent floodings and cheese steaks.
I'm new to the scrapping business, at least AS a business, but after my first four hours of working it - and splitting $500 three ways with my 2 "helpers" - I think I'm hopelessly addicted.
Nice to find this forum, and I'm looking forward to trading war stories with y'all!

Welcome aboard mate. I see you consider yourself a wise teacher. Or at least you do imply.
I hope you do have much to offer.

Yah-ah-Teh, Injunjoe!
I'm "semi-retired" from teaching Taijiquan and practicing Chinese medicine for over 30 years - got rid of my school and clinic and just have a few private students left. I was looking for something to do to stay busy and in shape (and make a few bucks while I'm at it!) and it seems this just might be the ticket.
Thank you ("xie-xie") for the welcome!

Ah yes, Southern Comfort, those were the days....I remember them well...Ok so I don't remember a darn thing except for the next morning with a hairy tongue and a marching band playing in my head but....lolThat's OK - the last time Southern Comfort passed my lips I still had hair on my head.
Thanks for the welcome!

So are you going to tell us of this great scrap day or perhaps I should ask?

Say your quotes about, hello and helpers, along with the mention of floods seems to speak a whole new story.
I just hope you are NOT another scamming POS.
NOT saying you are, but seems like we are getting more and more all the time.
Great money you 3 made in short period of time! Please do share how this went or how others on the forum could do or learn to do the same action?
Thanks; injunoe
Edit: My comments stand as to weed out undesirables but you had post before my third world connection would allow me to.
Welcome to the board.

We just had the worst flood since 1912 here - the mighty Susquehana River - and my OTHER "retirement" job - bouncer in a strip club - washed away along with the club.
No, not a scammer. Of course, I realize that's what a scammer would say, but I guess time will tell. I just came to this place through a link at another site - I'm researching the h*ll out of scrapping, trying to shorten the learning curve.I just hope you are NOT another scamming POS.

Maybe I can post a "My First Pick"-kinda' post, if those haven't been done to death already ...Great money you 3 made in short period of time! Please do share how this went or how others on the forum could do or learn to do the same action?

Thanks, Mechanic!
As for friends and business ... I know. That's the only thing that concerns me right now. I don't know if this is going to go full-time/pro level, but if it does I'd imagine that's where the big problems would start - especially seeing as how I was self-employed for so many years. I've developed a cranky-old-man-do-it-my-way mentality in a lot of things.
